Far From Victory: This Ceasefire Makes No Sense

2026/04/09

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.

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. Two Marines on Substack:

This New Peace Deal Favors Iran

2026/04/08

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.

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.

2026/04/03

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. Find more content on Substack:

We're Spiraling Towards Total War With Iran

War & Conflict with Preston Stewart ·

2026/04/02

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.

2026/03/28

So the Houthis have joined the war in the Middle East, which isn't great and adds some complexity to an already difficult situation. We look at the ways the Houthis may try to influence events and what that could mean for the larger war effort. Additional, a new piece by Nadav Eyal raises the suggestion that Iranian leadership may be living in a fantasy land, unaware of the damage inflicted to their military. If that's the case, we shouldn't expect them at the negotiating table anytime

2026/03/27

An Iranian drone and missile attack hit a US base in Saudi Arabia and has resulted in multiple aircraft damaged and ten servicemembers wounded. Satellite imagery appears to confirm these reports and also shows that we're parking aircraft in the open, inside of Iranian drone and missile range, one month into the start of this conflict. That's unacceptable. We've seen how vulnerable airfields are to cheap drones and there needs to be more done to defend against this new
