First up—as U.S. pressure mounts, Iran appears to be hiding activity at its nuclear sites. New satellite imagery shows roofs built over bombed facilities, blocking the world’s view of what may have survived last year’s strikes. I’ll have the details.


Later in the show—another sign that U.S.–Venezuela relations are shifting, as an American ambassador arrives in Caracas to formally reopen the U.S. embassy for the first time in seven years.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:


First up—new reporting sheds light on Xi Jinping’s sweeping purge of China’s military leadership, exposing deep corruption inside the People’s Liberation Army and raising serious questions about whether some of Beijing’s most critical weapons systems were ever fully operational.


Later in the show—some rare good news out of Venezuela, as the interim government under Delcy Rodriguez announces a sweeping amnesty plan for political prisoners, reaching back to detentions from the Chávez era.

Plus, new reporting reveals Saudi Arabia is privately urging President Trump to follow through on his warnings to Iran, arguing that restraint could leave Tehran stronger and more emboldened.


And in today’s Back of the Brief—the United States is now in the midst of a partial government shutdown, with signs it may last longer than initially expected.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: 

First—the White House is dramatically expanding its playbook against Iran, with President Trump reportedly considering some of the most aggressive military options in years. The most consequential: the possibility of U.S. special operations raids inside Iranian territory. We’ll have the details.

Later in the show—After weeks of punishing attacks on Ukraine’s power grid, Russia has temporarily halted airstrikes on Kyiv at President Trump’s urging. But with fighting continuing elsewhere and no ceasefire in place, Ukraine remains deeply skeptical about Moscow’s intentions.
