May 25th, 2026: The U.S. And Iran May Have A Deal
About this episode
In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief:
The United States and Iran reportedly agree in principle to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, potentially easing pressure on global oil markets and reducing fears of a wider Middle East war. But while the White House is signaling progress, many of the toughest questions surrounding Iran’s nuclear program remain unresolved.
New details emerge from CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s trip to Havana, including reports he brought along a paramilitary operator involved in the capture of Nicolás Maduro as the administration ramps up pressure on Cuba and warns about growing Russian and Chinese intelligence activity on the island.
Russia launches one of its largest aerial assaults on Kyiv since the start of the war, reportedly deploying its nuclear-capable Oreshnik hypersonic missile during the massive overnight barrage against the Ukrainian capital.
And in today’s Back of the Brief—a tense maritime standoff erupts between Chinese and Taiwanese coast guard ships near the strategically sensitive Pratas Islands in the South China Sea.
