1.1. Investigations into Past Election Results

Federal and state-level scrutiny of the 2020 election is ongoing. The FBI has reportedly “substantiated” certain irregularities in Georgia’s 2020 vote counts and is now investigating whether these actions were intentional [1].

1. National Security & Foreign Relations

1.1. Iran Policy & Regional Tensions

The U.S. posture toward Iran is defined by a tense combination of high-stakes diplomacy and direct military threats. Indicating friction among key allies, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is reportedly undertaking an urgent trip to the White House with the specific aim of stopping a potential U.S.-brokered nuclear deal with Iran [1]. Simultaneously, the threat of conflict remains acute, as Iran has publicly warned it will “attack US bases if Trump orders strikes” [2]. While talks are reportedly ongoing, some analysts believe military action remains a distinct possibility, with one commentator viewing potential strikes on a “paper tiger” Iran as likely [3]. This complex dynamic leaves President Trump facing what are described as “narrow options” in a standoff where Iran appears to be holding firm [4]. Compounding these external pressures, the Iranian regime is reportedly conducting a severe internal crackdown by arresting prominent reformist figures described as close to the president, a move viewed as a response to widespread protests [5].
