The global pressure is building — militarily, economically, and politically.

In this March 26 SITREP episode of the Carry On Podcast, Brad “Iceman” Colbert breaks down the accelerating U.S.–Iran conflict, troop movements toward the Strait of Hormuz, Iraqi militia fallout, Russia’s reaction to strikes near its nuclear infrastructure, and the growing global energy shock now rippling into Asia.

This isn’t just about airstrikes. It’s about strategic load bearing across multiple theaters.

Inside this episode:
