    May 11 2026
    In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief: First up—after weeks of rumors and silence, Iran is finally revealing new details about the condition of its injured Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, even as U.S. intelligence reportedly paints a far more troubling picture behind the scenes as negotiations over ending the war continue. Later in the show—Russia’s once-massive Victory Day parade appears to be shrinking alongside its military fortunes in Ukraine, with this year’s event reportedly becoming the shortest in modern Russian history. Plus—a staggering new estimate suggests more than 350,000 Russian troops may have already been killed in Ukraine, underscoring the enormous human cost of Moscow’s grinding war effort. And in today’s Back of the Brief—according to new reporting, Israel established a secret military outpost inside Iraq to support strikes on Iran during the recent conflict.
