DAILY BRIEFING

1. National Security Crisis: The Path to Conflict with Iran

1.1. White House on the Brink of a Decision

The administration has publicly declared its intent to decide on U.S. military action in the Israel-Iran conflict within two weeks, placing the nation on a high-stakes countdown [1]. President Trump has personally signaled the gravity of the situation, identifying the disabling of Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility as a necessary objective [2]. While the President now publicly denies reports that he has already approved specific US attack plans [3], this follows earlier reporting that a set of plans had been greenlit but not yet executed [4]. Most alarmingly, one report claims the White House is contemplating the use of nuclear weapons against Iran [5]. In a direct statement, the President added to the uncertainty, saying he “may or may not” strike Iran [6].

1. International Affairs & National Security

1.1 U.S. Military Posture & Iran Ultimatum

The United States is undertaking significant strategic military actions amidst rapidly escalating global tensions. The Pentagon has reportedly deployed the $13 billion USS Gerald Ford, a high-tech aircraft carrier, to the Mediterranean Sea as a clear show of force while “World Tensions Flare” [1]. This deployment occurs amid a volatile and confusing series of signals directed at Iran from the executive branch. A report from The Wall Street Journal alleged that President Trump had privately approved military attack plans for Iran, awaiting only a final order to proceed [2]. President Trump subsequently issued a public and direct denial of that report [3]. Following this, the President shifted tactics, publicly giving Iran a two-week deadline “to negotiate” or face unspecified consequences [4]. Fueling the uncertainty, media commentary points to internal pressures on the administration, with one report highlighting a “‘jacked gorilla’ general pushing Trump to strike Iran” [5]. Simultaneously, an opinion piece co-authored by Yoav Gallant argues that while Israel has done most of the work, “only Trump can finish it” [6].

A landmark Supreme Court ruling has curtailed transgender rights, while the Federal Reserve has issued a stark warning of a worsening economy, creating a convergence of crises that demands immediate and coordinated attention.
