April 2nd, 2026: Iran War Enters “COMPLETION PHASE” & Iran Escalates Cyber Campaign

In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief: After 11,000 strikes in just 30 days, the war with Iran may be entering its “completion phase”—but the hardest part could still be ahead as the fight shifts toward economic pressure and long-term endurance. China and Pakistan roll out a new plan to end the war in Iran, tying a ceasefire directly to reopening the Strait of Hormuz and stabilizing global energy markets. Iran escalates its cyber campaign, targeting government officials and corporate employees in a more personal form of psychological warfare. And in today’s Back of the Brief—Japan signals a major shift in its defense doctrine, deploying long-range missiles in a break from decades of postwar restraint.
