Iran Is a Distraction: 3 Stories You’re Probably Missing Right Now

While the news cycle is dominated by the conflict with Iran, oil prices, and daily Middle East developments, three significant stories are unfolding that could have much bigger long-term consequences for American families.

In the latest video, I break down exactly what’s happening behind the headlines and why these developments matter for everyday preparedness:

• The Iran war’s hidden impact on China’s economy and how factory shutdowns and rising raw material costs will eventually translate into higher prices for countless products Americans buy every day.
• The disturbing vulnerability of the U.S. power grid — including how a small number of targeted physical or cyber attacks could cause widespread, long-duration blackouts, especially in a Taiwan scenario.
• Japan’s dramatic policy shift — scrapping its decades-old ban on exporting lethal weapons, signaling a major change in the balance of power in Asia as nations prepare for growing tensions with China.

These aren’t flashy, breaking-news stories, but they represent slow-moving risks that could affect supply chains, energy reliability, and global stability for years to come.
