## Resource

This week on SUNDAY WIRE, guest host Bryan “Hesher” McClain steps in, covering the biggest stories in the US and internationally. This week we examine the growing question now entering mainstream discourse: is Lebanon becoming “the new Gaza,” as a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah appears to unravel amid ongoing strikes, mass displacement, and mounting destruction across southern Lebanon. We also cover Israel’s controversial interception of the Global Sumud Gaza aid flotilla in international waters, drawing international condemnation and raising new legal and geopolitical questions. Later in the show, we break down the latest developments in the US-Iran conflict, including the 60-day War Powers deadline and the Trump administration’s claim that hostilities have effectively ended despite a fragile ceasefire. In the Overdrive segment, we’re joined by Adam “Ruckus” Clark, and possibly Basil Valentine, for deeper comment and analysis on this week’s major developments. All this and more on this week’s show.
