In this Listener Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan answers questions on Iran, where Oman just agreed to help Tehran administer the Strait of Hormuz, and lays out why he believes the US ended up in a lose-lose position and how Trump could still flip the script. Bryan reads leaked remarks attributed to Iran's effective leader claiming the regime brought Trump to his knees and plans to keep the US on a short leash, then digs into a listener question about Michigan forgiving medical debt despite research showing it backfires. That leads to a deeper history lesson on Founding Father James Wilson and what Bryan calls "Wilson's Folly," the case the Founders made against full direct democracy, with fresh examples from NYC's Socialist wave. Plus, a run of good news for a listener in Kansas, including 146,000 missing migrant children located, a fraud crackdown on immigration lawyers, a court win on a Philadelphia history exhibit, $17.5 billion in loans for new nuclear reactors, and dye-free M&Ms coming this August.

//The Wire//2300Z June 24, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: OPERATION TO ORGANIZE EVACUATION OF PERSIAN GULF UNDERWAY AS MERCHANT SHIPS PREPARE TO TRANSIT THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. DOZENS OF SUSPECTED TERRORISTS ARRESTED IN TURKEY BEFORE NATO SUMMIT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Strait of Hormuz: Coordination efforts have begun regarding the large-scale evacuation of ships through the waterway. Due to the humanitarian crisis which has stricken over 11,000 mariners on almost 2,000 ships throughout the Gulf, efforts are underway by Iran, Oman, and the United States to organize an orderly movement through the now vastly restricted waterway.Analyst Comment: This time, the Iranians seem to be on board with the idea of a mass exodus of stranded vessels from the Gulf. The International Maritime Organization has advised ships to hold fast until a more solidified plan can be arranged, which is taking some time to coordinate due to the minefield greatly restricting the navigable passages and making collisions much more likely if hundreds of ships try to move all at once. Similarly, many vessels are now in a poor state of repair after having been at anchor in warm salt water for several months, so the chances of a ship having mechanical issues of some kind is very high, which is less than ideal in a crowded traffic scheme where naval mines are still a concern.Turkey: Counterterrorism raids have swept through Ankara as part of the increased security efforts ahead of the upcoming NATO summit. During the raids, approximately 200x individuals suspected to be affiliated with ISIS have been arrested, with at least one raid resulting in a shootout between the suspect and police.Analyst Comment: The ISIS presence within Turkey has been expanding for a while, as Turkey has taken on a substantial number of refugees, most of which came from Syria during the civil war a few years ago.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Due to the growing vandalism incidents, yesterday work crews were observed putting up fencing around some sections of the reflecting pool, as the renovation project continues and public interest in the project continues to grow.Analyst Comment: This would ordinarily be a non-story that is more of an annoyance than anything else. However this is becoming more of a significant point of pushing back against the Executive branch. Once egos get involved on all sides, something as mundane as a pool lining can become a point for escalation.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Discrepancies continue to mount in the Middle East as the finer details of the MOU are being worked out. The past few days have been host to the United States making claims regarding what the Iranians have agreed to, which the Iranians have promptly rejected. Yesterday, many American diplomats stated that Iran had agreed to let IAEA inspectors back in to their country to monitor nuclear sites. Immediately after these statements, the Iranian foreign ministry directly stated that this was not true, and that no inspectors would be allowed in. Similarly, President Trump stated that Iran has also agreed to not charge any fees after the 60-day negotiating period is over. Iranian diplomats have frequently stated that this is not true, and that an "insurance fee" will be charged moving forward. Oman also issued a statement confirming that fees will be charged by Iran in the future. During periods of negotiation, statements tend to be made not exactly in the interest of truth, but for reasons of securing a more favorable position. When we reach a point of where both sides are accusing each other of lying about easily verifiable facts, the only thing to do is wait and see what the truth works out to be.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Some call new LDS Prophet Dallin Oaks a prophet, seer, and litigator. We’ll see what Nathan Oman thinks of Dallin Oaks. Nathan is a legal historian at William and Mary University. He discusses how law has affected Latter-day Saints over the past 2 centuries. We’ll discuss Dallin Oaks perspectives on Joseph Smith’s martyrdom and polygamy up to modern polygamy cases, politics, and LGBT issues. Oman is the author of 2 volumes of Law and the Restoration Volume 1 and Volume 2, from Greg Kofford Books. Check out our conversation… https://youtu.be/FcHDLy8_PRI Don't miss our other conversations Nathan: https://gospeltangents.com/people/nathan-oman Copyright © 2026 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved CHAPTERS 0:00 Meet Nathan Oman – Law Prof William & Mary 4:11 Destroying the Expositor Press Was Legal? 9:55 Is Oaks an Apologist? 13:46 Oaks & LGBT Legal Fights Was the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor actually a violation of the First Amendment? And who are the top three most influential lawyers in Latter-day Saint history? In this episode of Gospel Tangents, host Rick Bennett sits down with Nathan Oman, law professor at William & Mary and author of Law and the Restoration, to dive deep into the fascinating world of Mormon legal history. Dallin Oaks Shapes Legal History We tackle one of the most controversial moments in Church history: the suppression of the Nauvoo Expositor. Oman breaks down how a young Dallin H. Oaks famously defended the legality of Joseph Smith's actions, revealing why our modern understanding of free speech and the First Amendment simply didn’t apply to state governments in 1844. The conversation also explores the evolution of Latter-day Saint legal scholarship. Oman explains his “three generations” of legal history, showing how scholars transitioned from simply using legal records to tell historical stories, to defensive apologetics, and finally to using the Mormon legal experience as a lens to understand broader American law. Finally, we look at President Dallin H. Oaks’s enduring legacy. Discover how his early work on the Carthage Conspiracy paved the way for modern scholarship, how his current role in the First Presidency drives the Church’s aggressive push for religious freedom globally, and find out why the forgotten Franklin S. Richards makes Oman’s list of the top three most influential lawyers in Mormon history. In this video, we cover: Why suppressing the Nauvoo Expositor wouldn’t have violated American law in the 1840s. The anachronism of applying the First Amendment to Joseph Smith’s actions. The “three generations” of Mormon legal history and apologetics. How Dallin H. Oaks uses legal history today as a tool to advocate for religious freedom. The top three most influential lawyers in Latter-day Saint history (including the unsung hero of the anti-polygamy battles!).

 On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett, and Jordy break down Donald Trump's stunning reversal on Iran after months of bluster, as his regime quietly unfreezes billions in Iranian funds and issues sweeping sanctions relief on Iranian oil and petrochemicals. They also unpack the increasingly bizarre spectacle unfolding in Washington, where Trump is blaming "Antifa" for allegedly throwing feces into the algae-infested Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool of his own making, while undercover officers arrest people for simply touching the water. Plus, the brothers cover major international developments, including political upheaval in the United Kingdom, Trump's escalating attacks on key U.S. allies including the UK, Italy, and NATO, high-stakes diplomacy involving the Gulf states, Iran, and Oman, and Ukraine's latest offensive operations deep inside Russia.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Timothy Walker, Senior Researcher on Maritime Security at the Institute for Security Studies, about how massive oil tankers are slipping through the Strait of Hormuz by going “dark” along Oman’s coast, and whether that’s only possible with quiet military protection and some form of understanding between the US and Iran.

Iran says it has again closed the Strait of Hormuz, in response to Israel's continued strikes on southern Lebanon which have killed at least 25 people according to Lebanese state media. The Iranian military described the attacks as a violation of Tehran's peace deal with Washington. But a US military statement said the Strait remained open and at least 55 vessels had passed through during the day.

Iran can begin exporting oil as soon as the MOU is signed. Iran "will make arrangements using its best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge for 60 days only from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman and vice versa." The U.S. and regional partners will develop a reconstruction plan for Iran worth at least $300 billion. Iran affirms that it "shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons." The two sides "have agreed to resolve the disposition of stockpiled enriched material." U.S. sanctions on Iran will be lifted on schedule as a part of a final deal, linked to nuclear compliance. There will be 60 days to sign a final agreement, which the two sides can agree to extend.

Le 17 avril 2022, la vie de Maud bascule. Son fils, Fahad Louis est enlevé par son ex mari. Depuis 4 ans, Maud se bat quotidiennement dans un labyrinthe de procédures judiciaires, de portes fermées et de silences gouvernementaux pour ramener Fahad Louis d'Oman vers la France. L'histoire de Maud est intense et complexe. Son ex-mari est un ancien agent des services de renseignement du Sultanat d'Oman et elle n'a pour le moment aucun moyen pour franchir les 7200 kms qui la sépare de son fils. Dans cet épisode très puissant, Maud raconte l'envers du décor. Une vie subie où la violence conjugale règne, où la liberté s'efface et où seule, elle va tout faire pour échapper au contrôle de son ex mari, jusqu'à en payer le prix fort.Un épisode qui m'a profondément remuée, et dont je suis certaine qu'il va faire le même effet sur vous.Si à l'issue de cette écoute, vous avez la possibilité de l'aider, n'hésitez surtout pas. https://www.droitdenfance.org/2025/05/25/38-477-disparitions-de-mineurs-signalees-en-2024/Programme :Relation conjugale détériorée après la naissance de son enfant (03:13)Contexte légal et sécuritaire très difficile à Oman (06:32)Multiples procédures juridiques complexes et épuisantes en France (19:45)Détail de l'enlèvement en avril 2022 (57:55)Absence de protection juridique efficace, y compris sur les accords internationaux (01:04:04)Message d'espoir et engagement personnel (01:19:44)Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Corridors économiques, nouvelles routes maritimes, investissements innovants, diversification vers l'Afrique : malgré les tensions géopolitiques, les entreprises continuent d'investir. Dans l'attente de la paix et de la stabilité au Moyen-Orient, décideurs économiques et chefs d'entreprise expliquent comment ils s'adaptent à un monde où la géographie redevient un facteur stratégique majeur. Le Moyen-Orient, entre attractivité économique et instabilité géopolitique Depuis plusieurs décennies, le Moyen-Orient s'est imposé comme une région incontournable pour le commerce mondial. Les États du Golfe investissent massivement dans les infrastructures, la logistique, l'énergie, les technologies et les services financiers. Mais la région demeure exposée aux tensions géopolitiques, notamment autour du détroit d'Ormuz, passage stratégique par lequel transite une part considérable des exportations mondiales d'hydrocarbures. Malgré ces incertitudes, les investisseurs continuent de croire au potentiel de la région. Pour Khalifah Al Yaqout, avocat d'affaires koweïtien, associé gérant du cabinet Al-Yaqout & Al-Fouzan Legal Group, la priorité reste avant tout la stabilité. Rencontré à l'occasion de l'événement Vision Golfe 2026 organisé par Business France à Paris, il indique que les pays du Moyen-Orient continueront à attirer les compétences internationales et les investissements tant qu'ils préserveront un environnement stable et prévisible. Gérard Mestrallet et le pari du corridor Inde–Moyen-Orient–Europe Ancien dirigeant d'Engie et de GDF Suez, Gérard Mestrallet pilote aujourd'hui pour la France le projet IMEC (India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor), lancé lors du sommet du G20 en 2023. L'objectif est ambitieux : relier l'Inde, le Moyen-Orient et l'Europe grâce à un vaste réseau combinant infrastructures portuaires, ferroviaires, énergétiques et numériques. À l'origine, le corridor reposait sur un itinéraire unique reliant Mumbai à Marseille via les Émirats arabes unis, l'Arabie saoudite et Israël. Mais les crises récentes ont conduit les promoteurs du projet à revoir leur copie. Gérard Mestrallet explique que le corridor s'appuie désormais sur plusieurs routes alternatives afin de limiter les risques liés aux conflits ou aux accidents logistiques. Des ports en Égypte, au Liban et à Oman pourraient ainsi compléter les infrastructures initialement prévues. L'Égypte, le Maroc et plusieurs ports méditerranéens pourraient devenir des points d'entrée stratégiques dans ce nouvel écosystème logistique. Des projets de câbles sous-marins numériques sont également envisagés. Les entreprises françaises regardent désormais vers l'Afrique L'émission donne ensuite la parole à plusieurs entreprises confrontées aux conséquences concrètes des tensions géopolitiques. C'est le cas de Petroseal, société normande spécialisée dans le colmatage de fuites sur installations industrielles à haute pression. Sa directrice opérationnelle Emmanuelle Mayor explique que l'entreprise continue de travailler dans le Golfe mais accélère désormais son développement en Afrique notamment au Nigeria, en Libye, en Côte d'Ivoire et au Sénégal. Ces pays cherchent à augmenter rapidement leurs capacités de production de pétrole et de gaz, créant ainsi de nouvelles opportunités pour les entreprises de services industrielles. Pour les acteurs de la logistique internationale, la réorientation progressive des flux maritimes vers l'Afrique constitue une tendance de fond. Le contournement de certaines zones à risque favorise de nouvelles connexions avec les ports africains.

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, negotiations to turn this week's US-Iran agreement into a lasting peace deal are delayed after Swiss officials announce talks at the Burgenstock resort will not take place as scheduled. The initial agreement remains in force as negotiators work towards resolving the remaining issues. We also look at growing tensions in Palestine after Israel announces new measures affecting planning authority in Hebron, while church leaders accuse Israeli authorities of seizing land in East Jerusalem. The US imposes new sanctions on senior Hezbollah figures and financial networks across Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Oman, saying the group must be cut off from its funding sources to support Lebanon's long-term stability. In the UAE, the Cabinet announces a nationwide ban on social media use for children under the age of 15, with age verification requirements and stronger online safety measures to take effect after a one-year transition period. And the UAE introduces a 30-day visa grace period for people unable to leave because of the Iran conflict, allowing eligible visitors and residents to confirm their status or depart without facing overstay fines. Trending Middle East is AI-assisted, using original reporting published in The National and curated and edited by humans.

Corridors économiques, nouvelles routes maritimes, investissements innovants, diversification vers l'Afrique : malgré les tensions géopolitiques, les entreprises continuent d'investir. Dans l'attente de la paix et de la stabilité au Moyen-Orient, décideurs économiques et chefs d'entreprise expliquent comment ils s'adaptent à un monde où la géographie redevient un facteur stratégique majeur. Le Moyen-Orient, entre attractivité économique et instabilité géopolitique Depuis plusieurs décennies, le Moyen-Orient s'est imposé comme une région incontournable pour le commerce mondial. Les États du Golfe investissent massivement dans les infrastructures, la logistique, l'énergie, les technologies et les services financiers. Mais la région demeure exposée aux tensions géopolitiques, notamment autour du détroit d'Ormuz, passage stratégique par lequel transite une part considérable des exportations mondiales d'hydrocarbures. Malgré ces incertitudes, les investisseurs continuent de croire au potentiel de la région. Pour Khalifah Al Yaqout, avocat d'affaires koweïtien, associé gérant du cabinet Al-Yaqout & Al-Fouzan Legal Group, la priorité reste avant tout la stabilité. Rencontré à l'occasion de l'événement Vision Golfe 2026 organisé par Business France à Paris, il indique que les pays du Moyen-Orient continueront à attirer les compétences internationales et les investissements tant qu'ils préserveront un environnement stable et prévisible. Gérard Mestrallet et le pari du corridor Inde–Moyen-Orient–Europe Ancien dirigeant d'Engie et de GDF Suez, Gérard Mestrallet pilote aujourd'hui pour la France le projet IMEC (India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor), lancé lors du sommet du G20 en 2023. L'objectif est ambitieux : relier l'Inde, le Moyen-Orient et l'Europe grâce à un vaste réseau combinant infrastructures portuaires, ferroviaires, énergétiques et numériques. À l'origine, le corridor reposait sur un itinéraire unique reliant Mumbai à Marseille via les Émirats arabes unis, l'Arabie saoudite et Israël. Mais les crises récentes ont conduit les promoteurs du projet à revoir leur copie. Gérard Mestrallet explique que le corridor s'appuie désormais sur plusieurs routes alternatives afin de limiter les risques liés aux conflits ou aux accidents logistiques. Des ports en Égypte, au Liban et à Oman pourraient ainsi compléter les infrastructures initialement prévues. L'Égypte, le Maroc et plusieurs ports méditerranéens pourraient devenir des points d'entrée stratégiques dans ce nouvel écosystème logistique. Des projets de câbles sous-marins numériques sont également envisagés. Les entreprises françaises regardent désormais vers l'Afrique L'émission donne ensuite la parole à plusieurs entreprises confrontées aux conséquences concrètes des tensions géopolitiques. C'est le cas de Petroseal, société normande spécialisée dans le colmatage de fuites sur installations industrielles à haute pression. Sa directrice opérationnelle Emmanuelle Mayor explique que l'entreprise continue de travailler dans le Golfe mais accélère désormais son développement en Afrique notamment au Nigeria, en Libye, en Côte d'Ivoire et au Sénégal. Ces pays cherchent à augmenter rapidement leurs capacités de production de pétrole et de gaz, créant ainsi de nouvelles opportunités pour les entreprises de services industrielles. Pour les acteurs de la logistique internationale, la réorientation progressive des flux maritimes vers l'Afrique constitue une tendance de fond. Le contournement de certaines zones à risque favorise de nouvelles connexions avec les ports africains. Le Havre bénéficie notamment de l'intensification des échanges avec l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Le développement du « nearshoring », qui consiste à rapprocher les chaînes d'approvisionnement des marchés finaux, renforce également cette dynamique. Le Havre, carrefour stratégique des échanges mondiaux L'émission se poursuit dans le port du Havre, premier port français pour le commerce maritime international. Kris Danaradjou, directeur général adjoint d'Haropa Port, responsable du développement rappelle que la plateforme traite environ 85 millions de tonnes de marchandises chaque année et plus de trois millions de conteneurs.

Marine tracking platforms say at least four tankers have sailed through the Strait of Hormuz after Iran and the United States signed a memorandum of understanding on ending their war. The first to pass into the Gulf of Oman was a French-flagged vessel carrying liquefied natural gas. Three Saudi-flagged oil tankers followed. Our chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet, assesses where next for the Middle East. Also: Ukraine carries out one of the biggest ever attacks on Moscow.

Last fall, I traveled to Oman for the World Inclusive Sailing Championships. It was an incredible experience. The inaugural event brought together many of the best adaptive sailors in the world, all competing to be world champion in one of three different classes – the RS venture connect - a two person boat, the Hansa 303 - a one person boat, and the Far East with three visually impaired sailors and three sighted sailors per boat.  Beyond the racing and crowning world champions, the event had a larger mission: to showcase the skill, passion, and level of competition of the international parasailing community, in an effort to get sailing back into the Paralympics after it was dropped following the 2016 Rio Games. Over 100 sailors from 36 different countries competed. In addition to enjoying the wonderful warmth of the Omani people, culture, landscape and weather, and mixing it up on the racecourse, my highlight was meeting the other sailors from around the world. In the quiet moments in between racing and exploring, I spoke with three of them to hear their stories.Guest info:@pintobp05Additional Resources:https://www.sailing.org/world-sailing-inclusion-championships/Contact us: Instagram: @unexpectedjourneypodEmail: tim@unexpectedjourneypod.com Hosted and produced by Tim BrownEditing and sound design by Louis ArevaloOriginal theme music by Jesse LaFountaineEpisode cover art by Lewis Falconer Cover art and logo design by Anne Holt and Lewis Falconer

Iran's former Foreign Minister and current parliament member Manouchehr Mottaki sits down with Mnar Adley on the MintCast podcast to expose the full scale of the US-Israeli war on Iran — from the deception behind "negotiations" to the bombing of an elementary school that killed 168 children, the assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei, and Iran's destruction of 17 US military bases in three days.    Mottaki reveals:    - How the US used five rounds of Oman-mediated negotiations as a "deceptive scheme" before launching unprovoked attacks    - The American airstrike on an elementary school in Minab — 168 students killed, pilot returned to drop a second bomb    - The assassination of Iran's Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and why Trump and Netanyahu must face qisas (Islamic justice)    - Iran's missile cities and military capabilities far beyond what US intelligence claims was destroyed    - The UAE's betrayal — hosting CIA/Mossad spy training centers and facilitating Zionist infiltration of the region    - US-orchestrated kidnapping of Iranian athletes in Australia ahead of the FIFA World Cup    - Why Iran warns: if the war continues, it will expand beyond the region    Guest: Manouchehr Mottaki — Former Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs (2005-2010), current member of Iranian parliament.

The MOU's opening term demands an immediate end to all military operations including in Lebanon, a war Israel is fighting against Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy. Israel was not part of the negotiations, is not a signatory, and is not named. That first sentence effectively legitimizes Hezbollah. Iran retains joint control of the Strait of Hormuz with Oman. The U.S. commits to lifting every category of sanctions: UN Security Council resolutions, IAEA Board of Governors resolutions, and all unilateral U.S. primary and secondary sanctions. Iran receives $100 billion in unfrozen assets with no spending restrictions and a $300 billion reconstruction fund guaranteed by the United States, also with no restrictions. Nothing in the text prevents Iran from directing that money to Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, or ballistic missile development. On the nuclear question, Hawk notes that no intelligence agency on the planet assessed Iran as close to a nuclear weapon before this war, and Tulsi Gabbard testified before Congress that Iran had not rebuilt the infrastructure destroyed last June. The two concessions Iran actually makes, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and a pledge not to pursue nuclear weapons, describe conditions that already existed before the war started. The contrast with Obama's JCPOA is direct. Obama froze all sanctions, secured a ten-year framework, fired no missiles, lost no American lives, and released $1.7 billion that was already Iranian money owed from a 1977 arms deal. Trump spent $100 billion on the war, got 14 to 15 Americans killed, sent gas and grocery prices surging, nearly triggered a global recession, and is handing Iran $400 billion with no conditions. Iran proved its regime can survive a full U.S. and Israeli military assault. Gulf states now know the U.S. cannot protect them. Israel is more isolated than at any point in modern history.

JD Vance and President Trump just blew up the media's "Trump gave Iran $300 billion" lie — and the truth about where that rebuilding money actually comes from (Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Oman) is devastating. Trump also torched the New York Times and CNN on camera for refusing to run the story that Iran lost its navy, its air force, and its enrichment facilities. Plus: the Versailles signing, the Strait of Hormuz reopening, gas back under $4, and Trump's "I'm blaming JD" joke.

From a quiet Southland street to the catwalks of Paris and palaces of Oman, a Riverton factory is helping to transform paua shells into luxury goods enjoyed around the world. Otago Southland reporter Katie Todd reports.

President Donald Trump sought Kurdish support in efforts to topple Iran's regime, only to drop them like hot potatoes amid pressure from Turkey, a key NATO ally. Now, after signing a peace deal with Tehran, Trump has left Iran's Kurds more isolated than ever. But Dutch scholar Wladimir van Wilgenburg says the agreement will not stop the Kurds from continuing their struggle for recognition and rights.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

De VS en Iran gaan de komende zestig dagen onderhandelen over een vredesakkoord. Maar wat gaat er precies veranderen rondom de Straat van Hormuz? Iran en Oman krijgen een ‘administratieve rol' in het beheer ervan, maar dat was voor deze oorlog niet zo. Moet de scheepvaart daarvoor dan ook iets gaan betalen? Volgens Koen Aartsma van Clingendael zou dat neerkomen op tolheffing. En correspondent Judith Spiegel in Koeweit over de verdere gevolgen van de deal voor de Golfregio. (13:53)Nieuwe uitdager Starmer klopt op deur  Alle Britse ogen zijn vandaag gericht op het kleine Engelse district Makerfield. Als daar bij de lokale verkiezingen vandaag Labour-kandidaat Andy Burnham wint, kan hij vanuit het parlement premier Keir Starmer als partijleider uitdagen tot een leiderschapsstrijd.

Why did J-Phat win the battle? What can you learn from him? Only a lot. 2 Chronicles 20.1-30

US President Donald Trump said on Monday a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has already been signed by the United States and Iran. White House officials have been giving some details about the Iran deal. They say the Strait of Hormuz will re-open on Friday - the same day the deal is formally signed in Geneva - with shipping traffic increasing gradually.Also on the programme: A wave of Russian strikes on Ukraine has killed ten people and badly damaged one of Kyiv's most sacred and historic cathedrals, we hear from historian and archaeologist Maksym Ostapenko; and scientists have found a new way to detect microplastics in the living tissue of our bodies with a laser, we speak to medical imaging lecturer Stephen Patrick, who led the research.

In this episode of the New Books Network, we explore Ethnographic Reflections on Marriage in Dhofar, Oman (Anthem Press, 2026), with anthropologist Dr Marielle Risse. Drawing on nearly two decades of ethnographic fieldwork, Dr Risse offers a nuanced examination of marriage practices among Sunni Muslim communities in southern Oman, challenging many of the assumptions that often underpin Western discussions of gender, family, and personal autonomy. Rather than portraying marriage as either oppressive or emancipatory, Dr Risse presents it as a complex social institution shaped by kinship networks, religious values, and community expectations. Risse's work encourages readers to reconsider familiar ideas about family, marriage, household, intimacy, autonomy, and social life. Amisah Bakuri (PhD) is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her work explores the intersections of religion, sexuality, gender, and migration, especially within African diasporic communities in the Netherlands. Learn more about your ad choices.

Drawing on nearly two decades of ethnographic fieldwork, Dr Risse offers a nuanced examination of marriage practices among Sunni Muslim communities in southern Oman, challenging many of the assumptions that often underpin Western discussions of gender, family, and personal autonomy. Rather than portraying marriage as either oppressive or emancipatory, Dr Risse presents it as a complex social institution shaped by kinship networks, religious values, and community expectations. Risse's work encourages readers to reconsider familiar ideas about family, marriage, household, intimacy, autonomy, and social life. Amisah Bakuri (PhD) is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her work explores the intersections of religion, sexuality, gender, and migration, especially within African diasporic communities in the Netherlands. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Three Indian sailors are dead after U.S. forces struck a commercial tanker in the Gulf of Oman, marking the first reported fatalities tied to Washington's blockade of Iran. We'll explain what happened, why India is demanding answers, and how the incident could complicate one of America's most important strategic relationships. Ukraine may have found a cheaper way to defend its skies. We'll look at a new homegrown interceptor missile that costs less than a quarter of a Patriot round and could help Kyiv counter Russian missile attacks at a fraction of the cost. Five months after the fall of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela is rapidly dismantling the symbols of his rule. We'll examine how the former dictator is being erased from public life and what it says about the country's post-Maduro future. In today's Back of the Brief, the House rejects a last-minute effort to extend a controversial surveillance authority, putting the future of a key U.S. intelligence tool in doubt.  To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President's Daily Brief by visiting https://PDBPremium.com.

//The Wire//2300Z June 11, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: IRAN WAR RESUMES AS AMERICAN BOMBING CONTINUES WHILE POLITICAL STATEMENTS CLAIM A HALT TO BOMBING BUT ALSO THE IMPENDING SEIZURE OF KHARG ISLAND. TARGETING OF MERCHANT VESSELS CONTINUES IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. UNREST CONTINUES IN NORTHERN IRELAND.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The war continued overnight with renewed strikes taking place around the region. The United States has begun bombing targets within Iran, targeting locations mostly in the southern regions of the country. Mainstream sources claim that approximately 49x Tomahawk standoff munitions were used to conduct the strikes, along with various bombs and other munitions delivered by aircraft platforms. On the Iranian side, missile and drone strikes continued overnight in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait. Battle damage assessment will take some time, however locals report that American bases were hit with at least some munitions in Jordan. The success of the other strikes remains unknown for now. As of this afternoon many statements have been made by President Trump, involving the US intending to seize Kharg Island at some point. Later on in the afternoon President Trump also stated that VP Vance is scheduled to sign a "deal" (likely a Memorandum of Understanding and not a full peace deal) with the Iranians this weekend in Europe. No further clarification on either topic has been conveyed.Strait of Hormuz: The targeting of civilian vessels by both sides has also continued over the past few days. The United States struck the M/T SETTEBELLO two days ago, which resulted in the death of three Indian nationals. This follows a similar attack the day before on the M/T MARIVEX which was conducted under similar circumstances. After last night's wave of American attacks, Iran has claimed to have closed the Strait to all traffic once again.Analyst Comment: Initial reporting indicates that all merchant vessels are holding tight wherever they are, as the new wave of attacks has reduced the chance of success in transiting the Strait. At the time the targeting took place last night, there were several ships in the Strait, some of which may have been targeted in some way. The situation is still very busy, but at least one vessel was struck off the coast of Oman last night, though which side did it remains unknown.Northern Ireland: Riots continued throughout Belfast overnight, with most businesses staying closed or closing early throughout the city, so as to be buttoned-up before nightfall. Most of the rioting and arson attacks have been confined to migrant-run HMOs, with hundreds of facilities being targeted throughout Belfast once night falls. Most of the less-kinetic protests are scheduled to take place outside migrant hotels throughout Northern Ireland, and similar protests have also been reported throughout Great Britain as mass migration concerns remain a critical issue for much of society.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: At this point, it's hard to argue that the war in the Middle East has not resumed, despite contradictory rhetoric never being more than a few minutes away. Even since just this morning, the rhetoric has gone from: dozens of Tomahawks launched overnight, and more are on the way tonight, to the attack has been halted, to the US is going to take Kharg Island, to JD Vance will be in Europe over the weekend to sign a peace deal with the Iranians. Whether or not any of that is true remains to be seen, but it's been a rather wild day already.In terms of missiles and bombs, the situation is much more clear. Fighting is not to the level it was during the initial two weeks of the bombing campaign, however the United States and Iran have found themselves conducting "self-defense" strikes against each other every day this week.As of this morning, the White House has indicated that this bombing campaign is expected to continue for at least three days. However, this afternoon, President Trump stated that tonight's bombing raid was canceled due to the Iranians engaging in "discussions" with the United States. Shortly afterward, Iranian state media denied any sort of agreement being made, and several high-ranking officials have stated that while indirect diplomatic talks continue, nothing is set in stone and there's certainly nothing to sign yet. What all of this means is anyone's guess, but this rollercoaster of a week might be explained by the world of finance. This afternoon, SpaceX announced the final details of their IPO filing, taking their company public. As a result a lot of policy makers were scheduled to make a LOT of money, right around the same time bombs were supposed to drop. Publicly announcing the fact that the war has re-entered the hot-shooting phase might cause some hiccups in the markets, so it's possible that a phone call was made and today's strange saga of statements are yet another attempt to manipulate markets by downplaying the truth of what's happening on the ground. As it stands, the rhetoric of the day describes polar opposites: Either the war is over and a deal is pending signature, or the war is back on, and the bombing is ramping up. Time will tell what the truth is, but so far every single time that peace has allegedly been on the table and moments away...bombs tend to fall all the same.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

The US military has struck another commercial tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, accusing it of violating its blockade of Iranian ports. It's the third ship to be targeted by American missiles this week. All had Indian crews. On Wednesday three Indian seafarers were killed when their vessel was hit off the coast of Oman.Also in the programme: Britain's defence minister has resigned, accusing the prime minister Keir Starmer of failing to deliver on commitments to boost military spending; the Pope's visit to the Spanish islands where many African immigrants have sought sanctuary; and Mexico take on South Africa today in the first game of the tournament at World Cup 2026.(Photo credit: EPA)

Did you know the US is currently engaged in a periodic bombing campaign on Somalia, a country in crisis? Why would the US want to bomb Somalia? What does it have to do with Trump's threatening words to Oman? Let's discuss the map and how those two countries are connected and why they are important.

//The Wire//2300Z June 10, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: WAR REIGNITES IN IRAN AS MUTUAL TARGETING CONTINUES AROUND THE REGION. PRESIDENT TRUMP REVEALS ALLEGEDLY SECRET OPERATION IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. RIOTS AND UNREST REMAIN CONSTANT IN NORTHERN IRELAND.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The war has continued to escalate as all sides remain engaged in active targeting operations throughout the region. After the reported shootdown of the American helicopter, the United States conducted 10-12x strikes throughout Iran in retaliation. Similarly, the Iranians attacked Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain again, striking airfields that are being used by American aircraft to conduct the war. This afternoon President Trump stated that American bombing will continue, and bombing sorties have already resumed with targets reportedly being struck once again throughout Iran.Northern Ireland: Unrest continued throughout Belfast throughout the night, with most of the more kinetic phases of the evening focusing around arson attacks on migrant housing projects throughout the city. Several dozen different sites and residential structures were burned down, and throughout the afternoon the riots have continued around the city.Analyst Comment: According to local reports, nobody was killed or stabbed during the night, so as of this morning at least, the "Chicago Way" has not been relied upon for conflict resolution throughout the city just yet. All things considered, the city has probably gotten off lightly so far considering the gravity and circumstances of the case that started all of this. However, as of this report, the second night of rioting has begun, and unrest looks to be in the forecast for the next few days.-HomeFront-Texas: Local dissent continues to grow in the wake of the Karmelo Anthony verdict, as Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison yesterday afternoon. So far only low-level unrest has been observed, however some BLM protests have remained persistent outside the Collin County courthouse, which have involved assaults and incidents between groups of protesters.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: This afternoon, President Trump revealed what is alleged to be a secret campaign to get more oil out of the Persian Gulf. This plan, the exact details of which remain very unclear, allegedly has resulted in hundreds of ships transiting the Strait, along with 100 million barrels of oil since the start of the operation. It's not immediately clear as to if this operation is still ongoing or not, but speculating a bit, this master plan appears to involve the US Navy attempting to conduct a grand shell game using a variety of electronic trickery, so as to sneak some vessels out of the Strait. Once in the Gulf of Oman, Ship-to-Ship transfers of oil are conducted, and the same ships run back through the Strait to pick up another load of oil. This has been suspected for some time as it's not exactly easy to hide a massive tanker vessel.In President Trump's social media post disclosing the operation, this "200 ship" claim needs more clarification because so far the numbers don't add up. This figure could be a total number of ships and not specifically oil tankers...small regional fishing boats are probably included in this figure. Even so, using his own numbers, the US has allegedly moved 100 million barrels of oil since May, during this secret operation. The average Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) carries about 2 million barrels of crude oil, so this would be equivalent to 50x trips...over a period of at least a month.Before the war, about 20 million barrels of oil transited the Strait every day. Since the war started, this flow has been effectively cut off. The Saudi's have helped supplement the situation with their East-West Petroline system which runs overland, with a capacity of 7 million bbl/d. Similarly, the Emirates have tried sneaking oil out through Omani terminals on the Gulf of Oman side of the Strait (which is why Iran has been striking Oman semi-regularly since the start of the war).Since deception has been disclosed and confirmed in this case, honesty is not a part of this equation. It is possible that this "secret" operation was more effective than at first glance. However, since it's unwise to tell the world about a secret military operation that is currently ongoing, it's also possible that it was less effective than stated, and thus has been concluded much like Project Freedom initially was. The latter option is the most likely based on the little information that we have, because the claim of 100 million barrels of secret oil only amounts to about five days worth of crude due to the US consuming about 21 million bbl/d in the summertime (from all sources, including domestic production). Credit must be granted where credit is due, and this alleged operation is at least an attempt for the White House to fix the energy crisis that it started, which is a step in the right direction. However in this case the grand question remains as to whether or not it was worth it. Civilian mariners putting their lives at risk while drone boats guide them through a minefield, for so little oil that the world did not even notice...might be a rather suboptimal arrangement on the strategic level.As a result, if this deception campaign was working to alleviate some pressure on the global oil crisis, nobody seems to have told the Department of Energy because the United States has continued to drain the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) at record rates. All total, the US has released around 172 million barrels from the SPR since the war began, most of which was sold for export as most US domestic refinement is heavily reliant on crude from the Middle East. If the US did indeed succeed in a total of 100 million barrels exiting the Strait...it did not just disappear, it had to go somewhere and somebody had to account for it over the past few months. Ships carrying oil don't just vanish into thin air, and there is undoubtedly a paper trail leading to the truth. Consequently, it's possible that the truth is being bent quite heavily and the numbers don't add up. Taking all of this at face value however, even with clever tricks, the Saudi's backup pipeline, US refinement booming, and draining our strategic reserves, basic arithmetic indicates that this is not enough to halt the energy crisis from getting more serious with each passing day.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Gregory Copley analyzes the downing of a US helicopter off Oman, noting strategic differences between American and Israeli objectives. While the US seeks a deal, Israel aims for regime change. Copley highlights the weakened state of the IRGC leadership and discusses how new global oil sources are currently mitigating Iranian threats. (9)1971 IRAN

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-9-2026.JUNE 1957.Liz Peek discusses SpaceX's $1.78 trillion IPO, questioning whether valuations for AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are sustainable. She notes that Starlink's profitability supports Elon Musk's moonshots. Despite inflation concerns, strong domestic private investment is currently driving U.S. economic prosperity while Europe struggles with over-regulation and high energy costs. (1)Liz Peek examines the influence of the Democratic Socialists of America in blue cities like Seattle and Los Angeles. She argues establishment Democrats fail to counter radical socialist propaganda. Concerns are raised over candidates promoting the abolition of prisons, drug use without judgment, and anti-Israel positions funded by extremist-linked donor groups. (2)Jonathan Schanzer analyzes the downing of a US Army helicopter by Iran near the Strait of Hormuz. He notes Trump's focus on a potential economic siege over expensive military munitions. Schanzer discusses rumors of IRGCleadership decapitation by Israel and suggests the regime is flailing due to internal disarray and chaos. (3)Jonathan Schanzer discusses the Israeli offensive in Lebanon, noting that Iran's influence is shrinking. He highlights Qatar's role as a state sponsor of terrorism that buys American influence through massive investments, totaling hundreds of billions. Schanzer warns that Qatar and Turkey remain primary patrons for the radical Muslim Brotherhoodextremist group. (4)Mary Kissel addresses the Iranian standoff, emphasizing the threat of "impregnable" nuclear facilities at Pickaxe Mountain. She notes Iran uses the Strait of Hormuz as leverage. Additionally, Kissel praises Ukraine's innovative drone technology for creating a stalemate against Russia and fostering a burgeoning, globally sought-after military-industrial complex within the war-torn country. (5)Mary Kissel highlights a regional trend toward liberty and transparency in the Americas, citing recent elections in Peru, Chile, and Argentina. She credits voters for rejecting failed leftist policies and discusses figures like Nayib Bukele and Javier Milei, the latter implementing a conservative agenda that is successfully reducing soaring Argentine inflation. (6)Joseph Sternberg explains China's reform of the Hukou residency system, which has limited internal migration since the 1950s. By granting migrants access to urban social services like healthcare and education, Beijing aims to reduce high household saving rates and stimulate domestic consumption to revitalize its slowing, multi-trillion dollar communist national economy. (7)Joseph Sternberg describes the UK Labour Party's internal strife as it debates returning to Blairite centrism versus far-left socialism. He critiques Keir Starmer's lack of decisive leadership during an anemic economic period. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage's Reform Party is successfully poaching Labour's traditional working-class voters in various important regional British parliamentary by-elections. (8)Gregory Copley analyzes the downing of a US helicopter off Oman, noting strategic differences between American and Israeli objectives. While the US seeks a deal, Israel aims for regime change. Copley highlights the weakened state of the IRGC leadership and discusses how new global oil sources are currently mitigating Iranian threats. (9)Gregory Copley reviews the historical failure of the Jimmy Carter administration during the Iranian hostage crisis. He explains that President Trump refuses to be "Jimmy Carter," instead seeking the total collapse of the IRGC leadership. Copley argues that internal public response in Iran is far more effective than military commando raids. (10)Gregory Copley reports on a rare Ebola outbreak and jihadi threats in Central Africa. He notes that local governments fail to fund necessary healthcare infrastructure, relying instead on outside aid. Additionally, Copley details the ongoing Ethiopian civil war and the complex regional power struggle over control of the vital Red Sea. (11)Gregory Copley discusses Prince Harry's desire to return to Britain due to financial depletion. He notes the lack of trust from King Charles and Prince William, and the dissipated public affection for the Duke. Copley also references his new book on the authority and success of constitutional monarchy as practiced today. (12)Josh Blackman traces the modern history of the death penalty from the 1972 Furman case to 1976's Gregg v. Georgia. He critiques the "evolving standards of decency" doctrine used by the Warren Court, arguing it reflects the views of elites rather than the constitution or the broader American general voting public. (13)Josh Blackman examines the Atkins v. Virginia ruling, which prohibits executing individuals with low IQs. He highlights the subjectivity of IQ tests and the lack of constitutional basis for such standards. Blackman notes that defendants now have incentives to intentionally fail these tests to avoid the death penalty in federal court. (14)Peter Huessy discusses US plans to deploy nuclear-capable F-35s in Europe to counter Russian threats. He explains Russia's "escalate to win" doctrine involving low-yield battlefield nukes for "surgical" strikes. Huessy warns that Russiapossesses thousands of non-strategic weapons, far exceeding current NATO theater capabilities and its lack of transparent weaponry numbers. (15)Peter Huessy details China's growing non-strategic nuclear arsenal and dual-use delivery systems. He explains that Beijing believes it can control escalation to keep the US out of the Western Pacific. Huessy emphasizes that NATOlacks a comparable response in Asia, as the US withdrew similar theater weapons in 1991. (16)

900K Independents Blocked Out. Spencer Pratt is Out in LA. Trump Cries Foul. America 250 is Bigger Than Trump.  Trump showed up at Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden and got booed loud enough that he had to lie about it on the tarmac. Hours later, news broke that an Iranian drone shot down a US Army Apache gunship off the coast of Oman — the pilots rescued, in a first-of-its-kind operation, by an American sea drone. And while the MAGA machine drags the NBA, the UFC, and America 250 into its political circus, four states are running primaries today that disenfranchise nearly a million independent voters, including roughly 450,000 independent veterans in Nevada alone. Paul Rieckhoff is solo on the mic for episode 545, delivering the kind of no-BS morning briefing the cable nets won't. This one moves fast and hits hard: drone warfare as the new normal in Iran and Ukraine, the difference between a closed primary, an open party primary, and the all-candidate open primary that actually respects independents, the Graham Plattner problem in Maine, Trump previewing his attack on November's election results, and a French flyover at the Statue of Liberty that's a reminder America 250 doesn't belong to Trump. If you're tired of partisans weaponizing every NBA scuffle and every foreign policy crisis, this is the briefing that meets the moment — righteous anger, rigorous analysis, and a path forward. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Make the switch to Noble mobile and save money the easy way. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.
