May 5th, 2026: Iran Fires on U.S. Ships & Intelligence Shows Putin Scared Of A Coup
About this episode
The episode discusses U.S. military engagement with Iran, Putin's fears of internal betrayal, and North Korea's response to crypto theft accusations.
In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief: First up—ceasefire or not, the shooting has already started. U.S. forces engaged Iranian boats and came under missile and drone fire just hours into Project Freedom—the U.S. effort to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Later in the show—new intelligence suggests Vladimir Putin isn’t just worried about external threats, but the possibility of betrayal from within his own ranks. Plus, North Korea pushes back against accusations it’s behind the majority of global crypto theft, calling the claims politically motivated. And in today’s Back of the Brief—two U.S. service members go missing during a military exercise in Morocco, as search efforts are now underway.
