Summary

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Israel delivers another major blow to Iran’s leadership, killing the head of IRGC intelligence along with a top Quds Force commander in a targeted strike inside Tehran. What this means for the regime—and what could come next. Even as Iran maintains its grip on the Strait of Hormuz, shipping traffic is rising, suggesting quiet deals may be keeping oil flowing through one of the world’s most critical chokepoints. Meanwhile, Ukraine presses ahead with strikes on Russian oil infrastructure, despite growing pressure to ease off amid rising global energy concerns. And in today’s Back of the Brief—North Korea may be preparing its next leader, as Kim Jong Un’s teenage daughter takes on a more prominent public role, fueling speculation about a fourth-generation dynasty.
