The President's Daily Brief

In this episode of the President’s Daily Brief:

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Iran continues targeting ships in and around the Strait of Hormuz, but new reporting suggests far more commercial vessels are making the journey than previously believed. We examine how shipping companies are navigating the dangerous waterway and the quiet role the U.S. Navy is playing in keeping maritime traffic moving.

Ukraine is combining drones with real-time satellite intelligence to dramatically improve its ability to locate and strike Russian forces. We break down the technology helping Kyiv identify hidden targets and increasing the effectiveness of its battlefield operations.

New reporting suggests U.S. intelligence officials are increasingly concerned about Israeli intelligence activities targeting American discussions and negotiations involving Iran, highlighting the complicated realities of espionage between even the closest allies.

In today's Back of the Brief, the Trump administration is reportedly considering whether frozen Iranian assets could be used to compensate Gulf allies that suffered damage during Tehran's retaliatory attacks, potentially making Iran pay for some of the costs of the conflict.

First—after more than four years of war, Volodymyr Zelensky has made his most direct appeal yet to Vladimir Putin, publicly calling for face-to-face negotiations. Putin says peace is possible, but is sticking to his maximalist demands while rebuking Zelensky’s proposal to meet.

Later in the show—a U.S. citizen pleads guilty to working as an agent for China. We'll look at the case, the alleged recruitment network behind it, and why it echoes warnings Western spy agencies issued just days ago.
