In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief:

- Ukraine's drone campaign against Russia's oil industry is inflicting serious economic damage. A new Washington Post investigation reveals how Ukrainian forces are systematically disabling critical refinery equipment, even as President Trump pressures Kyiv to halt the attacks.
- Britain formally links Iran's Revolutionary Guards to a suspected plot targeting RAF Fairford, a British air base that housed American B-1 bombers. London is imposing new sanctions on Iranian-linked operatives amid growing concerns about Tehran's covert operations on NATO territory.
- Western intelligence agencies warn that Russia is intensifying efforts to assassinate European defense industry executives involved in producing weapons for Ukraine. The alleged campaign is prompting heightened security measures and raising concerns about Moscow's covert operations across Europe.
- In today's Back of the Brief, Colombia's decades-old guerrilla conflict intensifies as rebels detonate a car bomb in the country's southwest. The bombing comes amid escalating clashes between insurgents and government forces.
