Summary

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: We begin with a closer look at the ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations. While reports remain mixed on how close the two sides are to a deal, Tehran's demands are becoming increasingly clear. We break down what Iran wants—from sanctions relief and nuclear concessions to its ambitions in the Strait of Hormuz—and what those demands reveal about how the regime views the outcome of the recent war. Later in the show—Russia follows through on its threats, launching a massive drone and missile barrage against Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities. The attack killed at least 22 people and marks one of the largest strikes on the Ukrainian capital in recent weeks. We also examine the discovery of a sophisticated cross-border smuggling tunnel connecting Mexico and the United States. Hidden beneath what appeared to be an ordinary Southern California storefront, investigators say the tunnel was part of a major drug trafficking operation. And in today's Back of the Brief—President Trump names housing finance chief Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence, placing a close ally with no intelligence background at the helm of America's intelligence community.
