In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief:
• New reporting reveals that U.S. Navy SEALs spent months conducting a covert mission to clear Iranian mines from the Strait of Hormuz as American and Iranian forces traded strikes above the waterway.
• Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon kill 12 people as renewed fighting raises concerns about whether the ceasefire with Hezbollah can hold.
• Haiti’s armed self-defense brigades were created to protect communities from violent gangs, but some are now accused of becoming part of the country’s growing security problem.
• Russia closes Germany’s consulate in St. Petersburg as the diplomatic fallout grows from a suspected Russian drone plot in Leipzig.
