First up — the fight for the Strait of Hormuz continues. The White House is working to assemble what officials are calling a “Hormuz Coalition,” a multinational naval force aimed at reopening the critical oil chokepoint after Iran disrupted global shipping through the strait. But with many nations hesitant to commit warships, the big question remains: who is actually willing to join?

Later in the show — Israel launches ground operations in southern Lebanon. The Israeli military says its forces have begun targeted operations near the strategic border town of Khiam as clashes with Hezbollah intensify along Israel’s northern frontier.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

Israeli officials say Tehran has begun firing ballistic missiles armed with cluster munitions, weapons that burst open midair and scatter dozens of smaller explosives across wide areas. The bomblets are far more difficult for missile defenses to intercept and pose a significant danger to civilians on the ground.

The International Energy Agency announces the largest emergency oil release in history, sending 400 million barrels into global markets in an effort to stabilize prices as the war with Iran threatens energy supplies.

New reporting reveals that as many as 150 American service members have been wounded in the first ten days of fighting with Iran, highlighting the growing toll of the conflict.

New details emerge about Iran’s newly installed supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei and why he has not appeared in public since the war began.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

French President Emmanuel Macron orders a major naval deployment to the Middle East, sending ten warships to the region to reinforce France’s presence and potentially escort commercial shipping through the increasingly tense Strait of Hormuz.

China unexpectedly suspends its daily military flights near Taiwan, leaving the skies around the island strangely quiet and raising new questions about what Beijing may be planning next.

In today’s Back of the Brief — investigators uncover new evidence in the attempted bombing during a New York City protest, as the FBI searches a Pennsylvania storage unit tied to what authorities say was an ISIS-inspired plot.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

A newly revealed classified U.S. intelligence assessment casts doubt on one of the central assumptions behind the war with Iran — that military force could trigger regime change in Tehran. According to the report, even a large-scale campaign may not be enough to topple the country’s entrenched clerical and military leadership.

Lebanon’s president makes a surprising diplomatic move, calling for direct negotiations with Israel while openly blaming Hezbollah for dragging the country into a war that serves Iran’s interests. The proposal is raising eyebrows in Washington and Jerusalem, where officials question whether Beirut can actually disarm the Iran-backed group.
