In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:


Israeli officials say Tehran has begun firing ballistic missiles armed with cluster munitions, weapons that burst open midair and scatter dozens of smaller explosives across wide areas. The bomblets are far more difficult for missile defenses to intercept and pose a significant danger to civilians on the ground.


The International Energy Agency announces the largest emergency oil release in history, sending 400 million barrels into global markets in an effort to stabilize prices as the war with Iran threatens energy supplies.


New reporting reveals that as many as 150 American service members have been wounded in the first ten days of fighting with Iran, highlighting the growing toll of the conflict.

First up — the Strait of Hormuz is rapidly turning into a war zone as multiple cargo ships are struck by projectiles in a single day. We’ll examine the latest attacks on commercial shipping and why the geography of this narrow waterway gives Iran a dangerous advantage as tensions escalate in the Persian Gulf.


Later in the show — new reporting raises fresh questions about Russia’s role in the conflict. Intelligence sources say Moscow may be advising Iran on drone tactics, potentially helping Tehran refine the attacks now being launched across the region.

A newly revealed classified U.S. intelligence assessment casts doubt on one of the central assumptions behind the war with Iran — that military force could trigger regime change in Tehran. According to the report, even a large-scale campaign may not be enough to topple the country’s entrenched clerical and military leadership.


Lebanon’s president makes a surprising diplomatic move, calling for direct negotiations with Israel while openly blaming Hezbollah for dragging the country into a war that serves Iran’s interests. The proposal is raising eyebrows in Washington and Jerusalem, where officials question whether Beirut can actually disarm the Iran-backed group.
