April 09, 2026 Far From Victory: This Ceasefire Makes No Sense

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.

Get more content on Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/
Been a hectic day with the war in Iran as the second US manned aircraft was shot down shortly after initial reports of a F-15 intercept was confirmed. We also learned that two helicopters involved in search and rescue ops were hit by ground fire but fortunately were able to return to base. This comes as ceasefire negotiations fall through, signaling a new phase in the war.

April 03, 2026 First US Jet Shot Down Over Iran - Search Efforts Underway
Today we have news that a US F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down over Iran. As of this recording the status of the two crew members is unknown and search operations are ongoing. Hopefully both are returned home safely but we also now face the real possibility that American airmen end up in Iranian captivity. That is the type of thing that could drastically alter the course of the war.

April 02, 2026 We're Spiraling Towards Total War With Iran
Today we're looking at recent targeting changes by the US and Israel that signal a shift towards total war in the Middle East. To be clear, Iran has been targeting exclusively civilian infrastructure from the start of this conflict but in recent days we've seen the US start to offer up targets that range from dual-use to almost exclusively civilian in nature. This is the trend towards total war, a style of fighting we haven't engaged in since Vietnam.
