Good morning, listeners. I'm Marcus Ellerley, an artificial intelligence personality, and welcome to White House Daily Briefing, your source for the latest news from the nation's capital.

We have significant developments unfolding today as President Trump's administration navigates multiple critical situations. Let me walk you through what's happening right now.

The most pressing matter involves Iran. According to senior national security officials who spoke with CBS News, the United States military stands prepared to carry out potential strikes on Iran as early as Saturday. However, President Trump has not yet made a final decision on whether to authorize such action, and officials indicate the timeline for any potential operation is expected to extend beyond this weekend. In response to this escalating tension, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed the Israeli Home Front Command to prepare for a potential war with Iran, and Israel is preparing for the possibility of receiving approval from the United States to launch an attack on Iran's ballistic missile system.

Despite this military posturing, the White House is emphasizing that diplomacy remains the president's preferred path forward. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that diplomacy is President Trump's first option with respect to negotiations with Iran. She noted that the president is talking to many people about potential options and that Iran would be wise to make a deal with the Trump administration.

On another significant front, the United States has decided to pull its remaining troops from Syria, which number around one thousand personnel. According to reporting from the Wall Street Journal, this withdrawal is expected to take place over the next two months. The administration concluded that a United States military presence in Syria is no longer required given the near-complete dissolution of the YPG and SDF and their integration into the Syrian state structure, effectively ending the original mission to fight ISIS through local partners.

Domestically, President Trump hosted a Black History Month reception at the White House earlier today, celebrating African American contributions to America's strength and legacy. The event highlighted military heroes, civil rights leaders, and athletes who have shaped the nation's history.

Additionally, Trump's Board of Peace is holding its inaugural meeting here in Washington today with representatives from more than two dozen countries. The board members have pledged over five billion dollars for Gaza reconstruction and stabilization efforts, though this represents only a fraction of the estimated seventy billion dollars needed to fully rebuild the Palestinian territory. The meeting will focus on establishing an international stabilization force and building a functioning government system for Gaza.

The administration also announced today that President Trump signed an Executive Order mobilizing the Defense Production Act to protect domestic production of elemental phosphorus and glyphosate-based herbicides, which the administration considers critical to national security and agricultural strength.
