Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down President Trump's national address on the war with Iran, offering unscripted analysis on what was said, what was true, and what may come next as the conflict enters a critical phase.

He walks through Trump's claims of military success, including the destruction of Iran's navy, air force, and much of its missile and drone capabilities, while questioning the long-term strategy around Iran's nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz. Bryan also explains what he sees as a high-risk "escalate to de-escalate" approach, where the U.S. pressures Europe and Gulf nations to step up or face the consequences, warning that "we've got two or three weeks of war yet to go… with more market turbulence" ahead.

Then, Bryan pivots to space and explains why NASA's Artemis II mission is about far more than returning to the moon. At the center is the Shackleton crater, a resource-rich location that could serve as a launch point for Mars and a strategic stronghold in a growing space race with China. With Beijing refusing to sign international agreements and potentially eyeing control of the region, Bryan outlines the stakes, including the possibility of space-based weapons that could impact security here on Earth.
