April 12, 2026 US Declares Naval Blockade After Iran Talks Stall
Join the community on Substack! https://prestonstew.substack.com/

Today we're looking at how the US-Iran talks played out yesterday in Pakistan where it appears nothing of note was agreed to. This likely means the US will require a shift in strategy and we may already be seeing this as President Trump has just announced a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

Today we're looking at new reports that the US has pushed a Destroyer into the Strait of Hormuz as peace talks in Pakistan commence. This would mark the first freedom of navigation maneuver since the war began and an indication that the US feels we have the upper hand entering the negotiations.

Today we're looking at the status of the US-Iran ceasefire as it threatens to fall apart before it really even begins.

April 09, 2026 Far From Victory: This Ceasefire Makes No Sense
Find more content on Substack! https://prestonstew.substack.com/
It seems like nobody knows what's happening with the ceasefire right now. Iran, the US and Israel have all shown to have a different understanding of what was agreed to but somehow it still seems to be holding. However, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and it doesn't appear that's set to change anytime soon.

April 09, 2026 Heart Pounding Ukraine Exfil Footage
Truck Fundraiser: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-spring-offensive

Today we're looking at what it takes to infil and exfil soldiers off the front lines in the east. This is some exclusive footage sent over from the 104th Territorial Defense Brigade to show how the vehicles we provide are being used at the front every day. Incredible to see this from their perspective. We also get into some battlefield updates across Ukraine.

April 08, 2026 This New Peace Deal Favors Iran
Find more content on Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/
So we might have a ceasefire but it's chaotic keeping up with all the nuance here. Entirely possible this still falls apart but for now it looks like the next two weeks are to be spent finalizing an agreement. I'm hesitant to provide much insight on the agreement right now as both sides seem to be contradicting themselves regularly.

April 07, 2026 Even For Trump, This Is A Crazy Threat
Go to http://proton.me/prestonstewart to get started with Proton Mail. Sign up for a free account and take back control of your email.
Today we're looking into the new deadlines laid out by President Trump for Iran to surrender and open the Strait of Hormuz. A few hours ago he said that 'a whole civilization will die tonight' as we approach the 8pm ET deadline he laid out a few days ago. Iran has responded by cutting off all communications around negotiations and reiterated that they will increase strikes on civilian infrastructure in the region if the US goes down that path.

April 05, 2026 Trump Just Snapped Over The Strait of Hormuz
Get more content on Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/
Trump just dropped his craziest deadline yet which I didn't think was real for a while. Either way, we have about 48 hours for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz and right now that doesn't seem likely at all. There's a good chance that we're misreading the Iranian regime right now.
