In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief:

• The diplomatic channel with Iran remains open, with Qatar carrying messages between Washington and Tehran even as the U.S. imposes another round of sanctions.

• U.S. forces are leaving Iraq after more than two decades, raising concerns that Iran-backed militias or ISIS could exploit the resulting security vacuum.

• Pakistan says it will defend Saudi Arabia against the Houthis by “whatever means are available,” raising the possibility that Islamabad could become directly involved in the widening conflict.
