In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

  • Violence is surging in Iran's Kurdish northwest, raising a critical question: are we witnessing the early stages of a new insurgency against the regime? Mike Baker examines the latest attacks on Iran's Revolutionary Guard and what they could signal about Tehran's internal stability.


  • A mystery is solved. A new report suggests Russia's years-long drone campaign may have served a second purpose: quietly mapping weaknesses in NATO's air defense network.


  • The Trump administration moves against an alleged Cuban influence operative who authorities say spent years working on behalf of Havana inside the United States.


  • In today's Back of the Brief—an extraordinary rescue in Venezuela offers a rare moment of hope as emergency crews pull a survivor alive from earthquake rubble more than a week after devastating twin temblors.
