## Resource

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up—the standoff between the United States and Iran enters a dangerous new phase. I'll explain what's changed, why the ceasefire appears to be unraveling, and what options President Trump now has moving forward. Later in the show—President Trump signals a major shift in strategy toward Ukraine, backing long-range strikes deep inside Russia while expanding Kyiv's ability to defend itself by allowing the production of Patriot missile interceptors. Plus—the case against accused Charlie Kirk killer Tyler Robinson moves into its next phase, as prosecutors unveil new DNA evidence during a closely watched preliminary hearing. In today's Back of the Brief—defense experts game out a chilling worst-case scenario: what would happen if a nuclear weapon detonated in space?
