THE PLAN BEHIND THE WAR NO ONE IS EXPLAINING W/ MIKE BAKER

This is the story behind the story on Trump’s 15 point Peace Plan for Iran and the Strait of Hormuz Blockade with Mike Baker.

One month into the joint U.S.-Israel war with Iran, the battlefield tells one story… but the global economy tells another.

Militarily, the United States and Israel have overwhelming dominance. Iran’s air defenses are down. Its navy is crippled. Its command structure has been hit hard. Operation Epic Fury is executing with precision.

So why does this feel like a stalemate - The Strait of Hormuz Closure

Iran has shifted to asymmetric warfare—blockading one of the most critical chokepoints in the world and triggering massive spikes in global energy prices. And here’s the uncomfortable truth: even with the most powerful military on earth, the U.S. cannot simply “take” the Strait without risking a global economic collapse.

We walk through:

Why the US Military can’t force open the Strait of Hormuz

What’s in Trump’s 15 Point Peace Plan for Iran

Predictions for what’s next?

Who is in charge in Iran - The clerics, IRGC, a new Ayatollah, The president

Why protecting oil tankers is nearly impossible

What role is does the GCC / Gulf Cooperation Council Play

The hidden role of maritime insurance—and why corporations, not governments, may decide if the Strait stays open

What is going to happen with Iran’s Terror Proxies - Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah etc.

Who comes out on top - Rubio or Vance

Then we unpack the reported 15-point peace proposal being floated through backchannels in Pakistan—what the U.S. is demanding from Iran, what’s being offered in return, and why Tehran may already be rejecting it.

Is this peace through strength—or a dangerous gamble with global markets?

To separate fact from narrative, we’re joined by former CIA covert operations officer Mike Baker, who brings 17 years of intelligence experience to break down what’s actually happening behind the headlines—no spin, no politics, just reality.

If you want to understand the Iran war, the Strait of Hormuz, oil markets, and what comes next—this is the episode.
