  Iran Resumes Missile Production as US Interceptors Run Low 17.09.2026 13min

  In a recent attack the US fired as many as 70 Patriots and more than a dozen THAAD interceptors trying to bring down 20 Iranian ballistic missiles. Some did the trick, others didn’t and it appears that a handful of strikes got through and damaged eight F-15s and one A-10. This is one of, if not the major challenge facing the United States in the war with Iran right now. Our interceptor inventory versus their missile stockpiles. Which runs out first? And unfortunately we just got a report that Iran has resumed production of their ballistic missiles.

  Houthis Just Shot Down a Saudi F-15 Over Yemen 16.09.2026 13min

  So the Houthis just shot down a Saudi F-15 over northern Yemen, which is a bit of a problem. See the Houthis are on a tear right now. They’re digging in and solidifying their gains around the Bab-al-Mandeb strait, the Saudi backed Yemeni forces all but faded away, and Saudi Arabia’s partners, like the US, are showing no interest in getting involved. I can hear the argument that this sounds like a Saudi Arabia problem and to a degree it certainly is. Bigger picture though is the direct effect this has on the global energy markets and international shipping.Sources:https://apnews.com/article/yemen-houthis-saudi-shipping-mandeb-8c18d82c109a8ea91347ce53c0096c53https://www.nbcnews.com/world/middle-east/saudi-arabia-mecca-houthis-drone-iran-war-trump-oil-gas-prices-rcna598075https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-officials-met-iran-backed-houthis-oman-over-weekend-sources-say-2026-09-16/https://t.me/army21ye/3728Store: https://prestonstew.shop/Join the community on Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/Contact: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

  The Iran War's Second Front Just Exploded 11.09.2026 19min

  The Houthis are on a roll in Yemen and the Saudi’s are struggling to stop them. The last 24-48 hours have been wild with the Houthis making their largest territorial gains in years to include the capture of islands in the middle of the Red Sea. Meanwhile, we’ve learned that the US has boots on ground in Saudi Arabia helping assist in their response but has turned down Saudi requests for direct military support.It’s best to view this as another front of the Iran war. Not only is the now threatened Bab al Mandeb Strait seen as the only maritime workaround to the closure of Hormuz but we’re watching Iran step in to help their ally the Houthis, while the US wavers on helping our ally, Saudi Arabia.

  "It's Really Bad" - Government Forces Lose Key Territory 10.09.2026 13min

  So the Houthis are kind of winning right now in Yemen. Just a few days ago we had regional analysts wondering if the Iranian backed group was on the verge of collapse, but we blink and they’ve just taken some very strategic territory.

  The US Just Hit 3 Iranian Oil Tankers 06.09.2026 14min

  In response to Iran firing missiles at two US warships in the Middle East, the US military just destroyed three Iranian oil tankers. This is actually a pretty big escalation in a few ways. First off, the launching missiles at our aircraft carrier is significant and not something we’ve seen in a while but then the US response was serious, actually sinking commercial vessels in this key waterway. That said, we’re still at a bit of an impasse where neither Iran nor the US seem willing to give an inch as the pressure mounts in different ways.

  Inside the Economic Strategy to End the Iran War 02.09.2026 35min

  While the US kicked off another wave of strikes in Iran last night, it’s pretty clear that our focus is using economic warfare to try to bring this war to a close. And as our guest today mentions, it’s worth noting that economic and military means aren’t mutually exclusive and in many cases can support the other.To help understand what we’re seeing on the economic side of this war, we’re joined today by Brett Erickson who I think does a great job of summarizing this as a matter of runway. Who has more and what shortens or lengthens that path?Brett is a financial crime and geopolitical expert whose work operates at the intersection of national security, finance, geopolitics, and institutional governance and serves as the managing principal at Obsidian Risk Advisors.We get into the US economic warfare strategy, what’s working, what’s not and what to watch for in the coming weeks.Follow Brett and his work at the links below:https://www.obsidianriskadvisors.com/https://x.com/BrettErickson28Store: https://prestonstew.shop/Join the community on Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/prestonstew_TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@prestonstewInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/prestonstew_/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Preston-Stewart/61584740132063/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/68Lhcj39e7zM4iM9bbJkdt?si=14c0ff0c0757472aApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/war-conflict-with-preston-stewart/id1834772946Contact: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

  Iran War Back On as Missiles Fly 01.09.2026 13min

  Looks like we’re back to war. This appears to be like more than a tit for tat response as the US carried out strikes for a few hours earlier today and the Iranian response, missile and drone attacks across the region, is still ongoing as of this recording.In turn we don’t have any solid battle damage assessments however the US says we went after a number of radar sites along the coast and Iran says that one strike hit a wedding party killing four and wounding more than 50.On the other side, Iran appears to have shot down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone and it looks like at least a few missiles bypassed air defense and impacted in Jordan. Jordan has since announced that 10 missiles were intercepted and 3 fell in unpopulated areas.Store: https://prestonstew.shop/Join the community on Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/prestonstew_TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@prestonstewInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/prestonstew_/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Preston-Stewart/61584740132063/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/68Lhcj39e7zM4iM9bbJkdt?si=14c0ff0c0757472aApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/war-conflict-with-preston-stewart/id1834772946Contact: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
