MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 18, 2026--

5 Stones intelligence (5Si) ®, a leading professional intelligence and investigations firm, today announced the launch of The Art of Intelligence ™, a new thought leadership and campaign platform exploring the disciplines, methodologies, and strategic role of intelligence in today’s increasingly complex global environment.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260518717933/en/

In an era defined by information overload, accelerating visibility, and increasingly sophisticated threats, intelligence is no longer defined by access to information alone — but by the ability to interpret it clearly. Developed as an evolving multi-platform initiative spanning film, digital, social, print, and future thought leadership content, The Art of Intelligence™ reflects 5Si’s continued focus on helping Clients navigate modern risk with clarity, discretion, and intelligence-driven insight.

“The world is flooded with information. Information alone is not intelligence,” said 5Si Founder David tinsley. “Intelligence is a discipline — the process of transforming complexity into clarity, identifying patterns others miss, and delivering insights and solutions in moments where precision matters most.”

The platform launches with a cinematic video introducing the philosophy behind The Art of Intelligence, followed by a five-part breakout series exploring core intelligence disciplines, including Decision Advantage, Complex Investigations, Protective Intelligence, Digital Defense, and Due Diligence.

Designed with a highly visual, editorial-inspired creative approach, the initiative blends cinematic storytelling, modern intelligence positioning, and luxury-inspired visual identity to reflect the evolving global risk landscape facing executives, global corporations, legal teams, family offices, and high-net-worth Clients worldwide.

Each installment explores intelligence not as a reactive function, but as a strategic discipline rooted in analysis, contextual understanding, investigative precision, and the ability to identify risk before it becomes reality.

“The Art of Intelligence reflects the evolution of intelligence itself,” tinsley continued. “The ability to observe clearly while others see chaos. To recognize signals hidden within noise. To connect today’s intelligence to tomorrow’s outcomes.”

The initial launch includes:

Future phases of The Art of Intelligence will expand through additional editorial content, executive perspectives, integrated campaigns, and strategic insights examining the evolving role of intelligence in modern risk management, investigative strategy, and high-stakes decision-making.

Positioned as a long-term thought leadership platform for 5Si, The Art of Intelligence is designed to advance conversations surrounding visibility, exposure, decision advantage, and the increasingly strategic role intelligence plays in helping organizations and private Clients navigate complexity with clarity and confidence.

“Our Clients rely on us in moments where the stakes are highest,” added Bailea Tinsley, 5Si Director of Global Investigations & Intelligence Services. “The Art of Intelligence reflects how intelligence, investigative precision, and strategic clarity come together to help organizations and private Clients navigate complexity, exposure, and risk with confidence.”

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — A performer at the funeral for Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called for the death of U.S. President Donald Trump before a crowd of hundreds of thousands of people Sunday in the capital, Tehran.

The comment represents the first, direct call for Trump's death by an emcee at the funeral, which has seen posters and graffiti calling for the killing of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. That's been a hard-line demand even as Tehran negotiates with the U.S. over a permanent end to the war that's disrupted global energy supplies.

Mohammad Rasouli, a poet, drew calls of “Death to America!” and “Death to Israel!”

Speaking to the crowd over loudspeakers at the funeral, Rasouli asked, referring to Trump: “Why is the most bastard man in the world still alive?”

The question drew cheers from the crowd, and again when Rasouli said that “the world is no longer a good place for” Trump.

Ayatollah Jafar Sobhani, a 97-year-old Shiite cleric, later led a prayer Sunday at Tehran’s Grand Mosalla for Khamenei and his late family members.

A far-larger crowd for the funeral than the day before attended the ceremony Sunday. Mourners dressed in black walked to the site, carrying banners and flags honoring Khamenei and also calling for Trump's killing as the American president gave a speech in Washington for the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.

“We’ve had tremendous success,” Trump said, speaking of the American military. “You look at Venezuela, you look at Iran. We wiped it out, wiped out their military.”

U.S. federal authorities have been tracking Iranian threats against Trump and other administration officials for years. That stems from Trump ordering the 2020 killing of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who led the expeditionary Quds Force of Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard. Iran repeatedly has denied plotting to kill Trump, though hard-line propaganda footage long has suggested Trump was in Tehran's crosshairs.

Trump meanwhile promised to destroy Iran's very civilization during the war among a variety of other threats.

The funeral for Khamenei, who ruled Iran for decades before he was killed at age 86 in a Feb. 28 airstrike in the opening moments of the Iran war, could provide a boost for the country’s theocracy and its new supreme leader, his son Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.

That is important as Iran tries to leverage its hold on the Strait of Hormuz in negotiations with the U.S. over a permanent end to the war and as concern lingers that Israel could attack again.

The funeral was delayed as the war raged, and talks are on hold until it is over.
