Mike Baker

It's Monday, the 2nd of March.

Well, welcome to a brand new month.

And welcome to the President's Daily Brief.

I'm Mike Baker, your eyes and ears on the world stage.

All right, let's get briefed.

First up, just days into Operation Epic Fury, Israel says it controls Iran's airspace and is now operating with impunity over Iran.

I'll have the latest details.

Later in the show, the world reacts to the conflict.

From the United Nations to Brussels, from Moscow to Beijing, global leaders are weighing in.

Plus, while the war rages on, the FBI secures the home front.

Director Kash Patel orders counterterrorism teams into a heightened posture as intelligence officials watch for signs of asymmetric retaliation from the Iranian regime.

And in today's back of the brief, a mass shooting in Austin, Texas leaves three dead and over a dozen injured.

We'll bring you the latest on what's known about that attack.

But first, today's PDB Spotlight.

We are now at day three of Operation Epic Fury, the joint US-Israeli military campaign that began early Saturday morning Tehran time.

And the scale of what has unfolded over the past 72 hours is definitely worth reviewing.

According to reports, Israel and the US have struck roughly 2,000 targets across Iran since the start of the operation.

The Israeli Air Force alone has flown more than 700 sorties and fired thousands of munitions.

U.S.

Central Command says its forces have targeted Iranian integrated air defense systems, naval vessels and submarines, anti-ship missile sites, underground missile infrastructure, and military communications centers.
