    May 13th, 2026: Iranian Commandos Captured In Kuwait & Ukraine’s New Drone Alliance

    2026-05-13 | 26 mins.
    In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

    Iran is accused of sending IRGC commandos onto Kuwaiti territory during the fragile Gulf ceasefire, raising fears the region’s shadow war is still escalating behind the scenes.

    The war with Iran is reportedly accelerating U.S.-Ukraine defense cooperation, with Washington and Kyiv now pursuing a landmark drone and air defense agreement as modern warfare rapidly evolves.

    Frustrations between Kyiv and the Trump administration appear to be boiling over, as President Volodymyr Zelensky increasingly distances Ukraine from what was once its most important ally.

    And in today’s Back of the Brief — North Korea’s support for Russia’s war effort is reportedly fueling the country’s biggest economic growth surge in nearly a decade, as Pyongyang earns billions supplying troops, missiles, and ammunition to Moscow.

    May 12th, 2026: Tehran’s Internet Blackout Is Backfiring & North Korea’s Dead Man’s Switch

    2026-05-12 | 23 mins.
    In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

    Iran’s months-long internet blackout is exposing growing cracks inside the regime itself, as politically connected elites reportedly receive privileged online access through controversial “white SIM cards” while millions of ordinary citizens remain digitally cut off from the outside world.

    North Korea reportedly adopts a chilling new constitutional provision requiring automatic nuclear retaliation if Kim Jong Un is assassinated, raising fresh concerns about a potential “nuclear dead man’s switch” inside the isolated regime.

    An international maritime operation delivers a major blow to global drug cartels after authorities crack down on what investigators describe as a transatlantic “cocaine highway” stretching across the Atlantic Ocean.

    And in today’s Back of the Brief—the man accused of targeting President Trump during last month’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner pleads not guilty to multiple federal charges as questions surrounding the security breach continue mounting.

    May 11th, 2026: Iran Finally Reveals Condition Of Injured Supreme Leader & Moscow’s Victory Day Parade A Bust

    2026-05-11 | 25 mins.
    In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief:

    First up—after weeks of rumors and silence, Iran is finally revealing new details about the condition of its injured Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, even as U.S. intelligence reportedly paints a far more troubling picture behind the scenes as negotiations over ending the war continue.

    Later in the show—Russia’s once-massive Victory Day parade appears to be shrinking alongside its military fortunes in Ukraine, with this year’s event reportedly becoming the shortest in modern Russian history.

    Plus—a staggering new estimate suggests more than 350,000 Russian troops may have already been killed in Ukraine, underscoring the enormous human cost of Moscow’s grinding war effort.

    And in today’s Back of the Brief—according to new reporting, Israel established a secret military outpost inside Iraq to support strikes on Iran during the recent conflict.
