Summary

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Pressure is building inside Iran, as political repression, public defiance, and a deepening water crisis collide. I’ll explain why these forces are feeding off one another and creating one of the most volatile moments the regime has faced in decades. More bad news for Russia’s chief export: nearly a third of Moscow’s seaborne oil is now stuck in tankers under U.S. sanctions. Plus—the U.S. hits companies, including one in Ukraine, accused of helping supply parts for Iran’s Shahed drones. And in today’s Back of the Brief—China agrees to tighten controls on chemicals used to make fentanyl after a visit by FBI Director Kash Patel, marking a rare moment of cooperation as America’s opioid crisis worsens.
