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, we cover Trump’s proposed Gaza peace plan, a mysterious U.S. tanker deployment to Europe, the Pentagon’s scramble for missiles and drones in a possible China war, and Russia and China’s unraveling fortunes in Africa.

From a potential breakthrough in the Middle East to covert battles in Africa’s deserts, today’s brief explores the fights shaping America’s security.

Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan Gains Arab Backing: For the first time since the October 7 attacks, Israel, Trump, and key Arab nations have united behind a deal. Hamas must release hostages, disarm, or go into exile while Gaza governance shifts to a Peace Board overseen by Trump and regional leaders. “This is basically the final offer to Hamas: accept it or death,” Bryan explains. Even Arab allies like Qatar and Saudi Arabia have signed on, leaving Iran isolated.

U.S. Tankers Deploy to Europe, Iran or Russia in the Crosshairs: Twelve U.S. refueling tankers flew to Britain, echoing prelude movements before Trump’s strike on Iran earlier this year. Possibilities include targeting Iran’s Pick-Axe Mountain nuclear site, sending a warning to Putin after drones crossed NATO skies, or simply NATO’s Cobra Warrior exercise. Bryan notes, “Intel officers always ask, is the juice worth the squeeze?”

Pentagon Short on Missiles and Drones for China: The U.S. has burned through a quarter of its missile interceptors and lags years behind on drone programs. Chinese subcontractors are even supplying critical parts for American weapons. Trump is pushing a mineral war strategy to rebuild U.S. supply chains. Bryan warns, “We don’t have the cards for a quick victory in Taiwan,” and Zelenskyy is offering U.S. training in exchange for Tomahawk missiles Washington can barely spare.

Russia and China Struggle in Africa’s Sahel: Islamist rebels are killing Russian contractors and Chinese workers across Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso. Moscow’s Africa Corps has failed to protect regimes after Wagner’s collapse, while Beijing’s mines and projects are under attack. Elon Musk’s Starlink is fueling rebel communications, and some suspect CIA or Ukrainian forces may be quietly aiding the insurgents. Bryan admits, “I can absolutely envision a scenario where a CIA officer recruits an al Qaeda scumbag to kill Russians and Chinese for us.”
