In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief:

- U.S. economic pressure is beginning to hit Iran at home, as foreign trade contracts, oil exports dry up, and gasoline lines grow across Tehran—raising the stakes for a regime already facing deep economic strain.
- The Trump administration takes its economic campaign against Iran to the G20, pressing major economies to choose between doing business with Tehran and retaining access to the American financial system.
- President Trump confirms a sweeping agreement that will give the United States control over a major share of Venezuela’s vast oil reserves, reshaping Washington’s energy relationship with Caracas.
- In today’s Back of the Brief, a new message attributed to Iran’s missing supreme leader surfaces after months of silence, but still provides no verified proof that he is alive or directing the regime.
