In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: A potential shift from Europe and Japan on securing the Strait of Hormuz—but as allies stop short of specifics, U.S. air power, including A-10 Warthogs, is already striking Iranian assets to reopen the waterway. A bizarre and troubling turn in the cartel war, with a California-born figure now leading Mexico’s most dangerous drug empire, complicating any effort to take him down. A new U.S. intelligence assessment is raising eyebrows, suggesting China may not be preparing to invade Taiwan—at least not on the timeline many had feared. And in today's Back of the Brief — a chilling reminder of the regime’s brutality in Tehran, where a teenage champion wrestler is among those publicly executed as part of a widening crackdown on protesters.
