March 11th, 2026: Coup Inside Iran? The IRGC Seizes Power In Tehran & France Deploys Warships To Middle East

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

• Iran’s leadership may survive the current war, but the balance of power inside Tehran could be shifting. We take a closer look at how the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps may be using this moment to tighten its grip on the regime—potentially accelerating a long-running evolution toward an IRGC-dominated state.

  
  

• French President Emmanuel Macron orders a major naval deployment to the Middle East, sending ten warships to the region to reinforce France’s presence and potentially escort commercial shipping through the increasingly tense Strait of Hormuz.

  
  

• China unexpectedly suspends its daily military flights near Taiwan, leaving the skies around the island strangely quiet and raising new questions about what Beijing may be planning next.

  
  

• In today’s Back of the Brief — investigators uncover new evidence in the attempted bombing during a New York City protest, as the FBI searches a Pennsylvania storage unit tied to what authorities say was an ISIS-inspired plot.
