In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan unpacks President Trump's surprise threat to bomb Oman over a brewing scheme with Iran to charge tolls on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Bryan breaks down the escalating chess match in the Middle East, including fresh Iranian drone attacks on commercial vessels, Trump's strategy to strip Tehran of its midterm election leverage, and the White House's plan to recognize Somaliland as a wedge against Saudi Arabia and the Houthis. He then pivots to a wave of domestic immigration reforms, from a new executive order pushing banks to flag illegal aliens, to a return of the pre-1960s rule requiring green card applicants to wait abroad, to the proposed \"Cranky Flier\" program targeting international flights into sanctuary cities. The WSJ's reporting on shoddy new home construction tied to unqualified foreign labor adds a sharp twist to the labor debate. Plus, Ken Paxton's primary win over John Cornyn in Texas raises the question of whether Trump will turn his war chest on RINO Republicans, and Bryan closes with promising medical news on pancreatic cancer, why a father's weight before conception shapes his child's metabolic health, and what scientists just learned about the brain's two washing systems during deep sleep. \"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.\" - John 8:32 Keywords: Bryan Dean Wright, The Wright Report, Trump Oman threat, Strait of Hormuz, Iran drone attack, IRGC, Iran ceasefire, midterm elections, Somaliland recognition, Houthis, Saudi Arabia, Abraham Accords, MBS, UAE, immigration reform, illegal immigrat…","meta_description":"Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he covers today's top stories shapi…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1919,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-wright-report-6060643/episodes/28-may-2026-fighting-erupts-between-the-u-s-iran-bombs-away-on-oman-horn-of-africa-update-migrant-crackdown-on-green-cards-but-good-for-construction-wild-texas-senate-fight-medical-news/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-wright-report-6060643/28-may-2026-fighting-erupts-between-the-u-s-iran-bombs-away-on-oman-horn-of-africa-update-migrant-crackdown-on-green-cards-but-good-for-construction-wild-texas-senate-fight-medical-news.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
