The President's Daily Brief

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: 

First—Iran’s leadership is reportedly openly debating whether to formally pursue a nuclear weapon, something the regime has long denied even considering. The shift comes after weeks of U.S. and Israeli strikes, and as hardliners tighten their grip on power. The question now is whether this is just empty saber-rattling, a negotiating tactic, or the beginning of a real change in strategy. I’ll break it down.

Later in the show—Ukraine’s strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure are starting to add up, knocking out roughly 40 percent of the Kremlin’s export capacity. While it’s a massive hit to the Kremlin’s war chest, rising oil prices and shifting sanctions may be working against that effort.
