Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down a bloody weekend in the Iran war, with US troops killed in Jordan and Iraq and Iranian strikes hammering Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. Bryan covers the mounting toll of the conflict, including a death count now at 18 US service members, a near-shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz that has pushed oil past $90 a barrel, and Trump's warning of an even bigger week of strikes ahead. He also breaks down the murky status of Iran's Ayatollah and growing questions about the war's staggering cost to US taxpayers. Plus, Bryan covers Zelenskyy's growing troubles at home in Ukraine, a lettuce-driven food poisoning outbreak sweeping the Midwest, Zohran Mamdani's stance on open borders, a rare Democrat rebellion against the party's socialist wing, new revelations about a former FBI official accused of burying China election intel, and the joyful news of VP JD Vance's newborn son. \"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.\" - John 8:32 Keywords: Wright Report, Bryan Dean Wright, Iran war, Strait of Hormuz, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, oil prices, Ayatollah, Ukraine, Zelenskyy, Zohran Mamdani, midterms, FBI, China hack, voter files, JD Vance, Alec Neel Vance","meta_description":"Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Try Masa Chips: Click Here - Enter Code \"Wright\" for 25% off your first purchase.
