Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers a wave of Islamist terror attacks across the U.S., including a deadly shooting at Old Dominion University in Virginia and a car bombing attempt at a synagogue and daycare in Michigan.

Bryan then turns to the war with Iran, where Tehran has escalated its attacks on oil infrastructure across the Middle East, striking tankers near Iraq, targeting an oil port in Oman, and hitting cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz as energy markets brace for further disruption.

He also reports on U.S. and Israeli strikes inside Iran that are targeting regime forces and infrastructure, new AI-assisted military operations speeding up targeting decisions, and the growing debate in Washington about how long the war will last and what victory might look like.

Finally, Bryan closes the week with some encouraging medical research, including new findings on how exercise can boost memory and brain health, plus emerging science linking gut health to sharper thinking as we age.

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 delivers national and global updates on Operation Epic Fury, the war with Iran, with developments stretching from California to Norway to Iraq.

First, Bryan covers new intelligence warnings that Iran may attempt a terror attack on the U.S. homeland, possibly launching drones from a vessel off the West Coast toward cities like Los Angeles. Officials say the threat echoes past mysterious drone activity near U.S. shores and raises fresh concerns about sleeper cells and covert attacks.

Bryan also explains the broader strategic picture in the war with Iran, including how Tehran may use unconventional tactics to strike back while the U.S. and its allies attempt to contain the conflict and prevent further escalation across the Middle East and beyond.
