## Resource

In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief: Months after Operation Epic Fury, Iran’s leadership is reportedly still operating from bunkers and secret hideouts, with regime paranoia and communication breakdowns now slowing negotiations with Washington. New reporting suggests Iran’s supreme leader is relying on a secret courier network to communicate as fears of Israeli and American intelligence penetration continue gripping the regime. British forces are reportedly preparing for a possible mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if a peace agreement with Iran moves forward. The operation could involve autonomous mine-hunting systems designed to clear one of the world’s most strategically vital shipping lanes. A devastating suicide bombing targeting a train carrying Pakistani security personnel and their families kills more than 30 people in Pakistan’s volatile Balochistan province, marking another escalation in the region’s growing separatist insurgency. And in today’s Back of the Brief—another sign of warming relations between Washington and Caracas as the head of U.S. Southern Command visits Venezuela while Marines conduct a dramatic embassy response drill in the capital.
