November 14th, 2025: Why Iran is One Spark Away From Chaos & Russia’s Oil Bottleneck

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

• Pressure is building inside Iran, as political repression, public defiance, and a deepening water crisis collide. I’ll explain why these forces are feeding off one another and creating one of the most volatile moments the regime has faced in decades.

  
  

• More bad news for Russia’s chief export: nearly a third of Moscow’s seaborne oil is now stuck in tankers under U.S. sanctions.

  
  

• Plus—the U.S. hits companies, including one in Ukraine, accused of helping supply parts for Iran’s Shahed drones.

  
  

• And in today’s Back of the Brief—China agrees to tighten controls on chemicals used to make fentanyl after a visit by FBI Director Kash Patel, marking a rare moment of cooperation as America’s opioid crisis worsens.
