Strategic Overview - FROM CONGRESS TO IRAN: The Enemy You Can't See - May 4, 2026

Mike reports from a Washington, DC deployment as Iran escalation in the Strait of Hormuz collides with high-level U.S.-Russia-China diplomacy, Europe's growing isolation, and Trump's sovereignty-driven economic revival heading into the midterms.

Strategic Overview - FROM CONGRESS TO IRAN: The Enemy You Can't See - May 4, 2026

Host Mike Steger recaps Promethean Action's May 4 strategic discussion after a Washington, DC deployment to engage Capitol Hill offices on economic questions and President Trump's revival of the “American system,” promoted in the new pamphlet “Bye-bye globalism. The American system is back.” He reports intensifying developments involving Iran, including U.S. naval passage through the Strait of Hormuz under “Project Freedom,” limited Iranian strikes on the UAE and Oman, claims and denials of attacks on U.S. vessels, and U.S. retaliation destroying six IRGC fast boats, alongside a 30-day war-ending proposal under review. Steger highlights ongoing high-level U.S.-Russia-China diplomacy, a planned Trump visit to Beijing, a May 9 ceasefire and Putin speech, and Europe's growing isolation. He argues globalists seek to bog the U.S. down, while Trump's sovereignty-driven, non-zero-sum approach and industrial revival are boosting wages and reshaping geopolitics ahead of the midterms.
