Summary

In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief: First up—Iran’s new Supreme Leader remains out of sight, with no public appearances or verified statements, raising serious questions about who is actually in control. Reports suggest the regime may be relying on artificial intelligence and propaganda to project authority amid growing instability. Later in the show—the Houthis have gone unusually quiet, as Saudi Arabia works behind the scenes to keep the Iran conflict from expanding further. Plus—Ukraine launches a major drone strike on Russia’s largest oil export terminal, threatening to disrupt already fragile global energy markets. And in today’s Back of the Brief—the U.S. issues a worldwide security alert, warning Americans that Iran-linked groups may be preparing to target U.S. interests abroad as the conflict widens.
