In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

• President Trump says he’s pausing a planned military strike on Iran as Gulf leaders push for continued negotiations, even while the White House warns Tehran that future talks may happen “through bombs.”

  
  

• Pakistan reportedly deploys fighter jets and thousands of troops to Saudi Arabia, despite U.S. officials claiming Islamabad also helped protect Iranian military aircraft during the war. Plus, new claims from a former Kremlin insider suggest Russian elites may finally be envisioning a future without Vladimir Putin.

  
  

• And in today’s Back of the Brief—Israel says it has finally eliminated Hamas’s elusive military commander known as “The Ghost,” a figure who reportedly survived years of assassination attempts inside Gaza.
