In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up — six Americans are now dead as Operation Epic Fury enters day four. President Trump lays out the clearest explanation yet of the war’s objectives: dismantle Iran’s missile industry, annihilate its navy, permanently block its path to a nuclear weapon, and sever its terrorist proxy networks. But what may be most telling is what’s not on that list. Later in the show — following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, Tehran moves quickly to stabilize power. We break down the three-man interim council now in charge and what it signals about the regime’s future. Plus, U.S. embassies face violent unrest across multiple countries as anger over the strikes spills into the streets. And in today’s Back of the Brief — France announces a major shift in European nuclear posture, offering to expand its nuclear deterrent footprint across allied territory for the first time.
