September 14th, 2026: China Helped Iran Carry Out Strike That Killed 3 U.S. Troops & Russian Drone Strikes Near Poland · The President's Daily Brief

0:13
It's Monday,
0:13
the 14th of September.
0:15
Welcome to the President's Daily Brief.
0:17
I'm Mike Baker,
0:18
your eyes and ears on the world stage,
0:20
and congratulations to Ole Miss,
0:23
another in the win category.
0:25
Next up,
0:26
they're playing LSU.
0:27
Lane Kiffin returns to Oxford,
0:29
Mississippi.
0:30
That's gonna be high entertainment right there.
0:32
Alright,
0:32
let's get briefed.
0:33
First up,
0:34
new reporting says Iran obtained Chinese satellite imagery of a US base.
0:39
Before launching the attack that killed 3 American troops in Jordan,
0:43
we'll tell you what US officials are now saying about Beijing's role
0:47
later in the show.
0:48
Iran-backed Houthi forces seize a strategic island at the entrance to the Red Sea,
0:53
putting another major global oil route under growing pressure.
0:58
Plus Russia targets a train near the Polish border on a rail line
1:02
regularly used by foreign leaders traveling into Ukraine.
1:06
And in today's back of the brief,
1:08
U.S.Canada relations continue to deteriorate as
1:11
Prime Minister Mark Carney explores whether
1:13
Canada could become a quote associate member
1:16
of the European Union.
1:18
But first,
1:19
today's PDB spotlight.
1:22
We're getting new details about the Iranian missile strike
1:25
that killed 3 American troops in Jordan this summer
1:28
and what US officials now say was a critical piece of intelligence
1:32
that Iran obtained before the attack.
1:35
The Wall Street Journal reports that the Iranian regime
1:37
acquired high resolution satellite imagery of the US base
1:41
from Chinese entities before launching the July 17th strike.
1:45
According to US officials familiar with the intelligence,
1:47
those images
1:48
have now been connected to that attack.
1:51
And they say it represents the clearest evidence yet that Chinese support
1:54
for Iran during this war has had lethal consequences for American forces.
1:59
The target
2:00
was Muafak Salti Air Base.
2:02
That's in northeastern Jordan.
2:04
Iran launched 3 separate missile strikes against the base over a 24 hour period.
2:09
One of those ballistic missiles hit a housing
2:11
area where American troops had been sleeping.
2:13
3 US soldiers were killed,
2:15
4 others were wounded and medically evacuated.
2:19
Iran also targeted manned and unmanned aircraft stationed at the base,
2:23
and according to the journal,
2:24
Tehran had obtained high resolution Chinese satellite
2:27
imagery of the installation before the attack
2:30
and continued acquiring imagery after the attacks.
2:34
Now US officials are not alleging
2:37
yet
2:37
that Beijing ordered the strike nor directly participated in it.
2:41
And there's no public evidence
2:42
establishing that the Chinese government specifically
2:45
instructed anyone to provide Iran with imagery of this base,
2:49
but there's an important distinction here.
2:52
China's commercial satellite industry
2:54
doesn't operate with the same separation,
2:56
the same firewall between private companies and the government.
2:59
That we're accustomed to seeing in the US or with other Western countries.
3:03
The Journal notes that even ostensibly private Chinese satellite companies
3:08
operate under extensive government oversight,
3:10
and many have connections to the Chinese
3:12
government or the Chinese Communist Party,
3:14
the CCP.
3:15
So while the reporting doesn't establish that Beijing directed this operation,
3:20
it also doesn't answer how much the
3:22
Chinese government knew about or potentially enabled
3:25
the flow of satellite intelligence to the Iranian regime.
3:29
If one were to speculate,
3:31
it would not be unfair to state that a Chinese company or companies
3:35
would not likely provide the Iranian regime with
3:38
detailed targeting information on a US military facility
3:41
without clearing it first with Chinese government authorities.
3:45
And Washington had been warning Beijing about this
3:47
problem long before those three Americans were killed.
3:50
Senior US officials reportedly spent months telling their Chinese counterparts
3:55
that Chinese companies were providing satellite imagery
3:57
to Iran
3:59
that Iran could use to target American personnel
4:01
and military assets throughout the Middle East.
4:04
In May,
4:05
the Trump administration sanctioned three Chinese companies
4:08
Mizar Vision,
4:09
EarthEye,
4:09
and Changguan,
4:11
saying their imagery could threaten US and allied forces.
4:15
And then came the July 17th attack.
4:17
And what happened beforehand
4:19
may help explain why Iran was suddenly becoming much more accurate.
4:24
Earlier in the war,
4:25
US strikes had degraded Iran's radar,
4:27
satellites,
4:28
and other surveillance capabilities.
4:30
Officials noticed that Iranian missiles were often landing in areas with
4:34
little to no military value,
4:36
suggesting that Tehran simply
4:38
didn't have a very clear picture of what was happening inside American bases.
4:42
But over the summer that began to change.
4:45
Iran's targeting improved.
4:47
Fresh high resolution satellite imagery
4:49
could show Tehran where aircraft had been moved,
4:52
where new structures had appeared,
4:53
where
4:54
defensive systems were positioned,
4:56
and where personnel might be concentrated.
4:58
And imagery taken after an attack could tell Iran what it actually hit,
5:03
allowing its military
5:04
to assess the damage and adjust its next strike.
5:07
The Chinese imagery also appears to be just one part
5:10
of a much larger intelligence picture.
5:13
Chinese technology continues to show up
5:15
elsewhere in Iran's military capabilities,
5:17
including navigation services and components used in
5:20
drones and missiles.
5:22
Obviously American officials are concerned about where this may be heading next
5:27
because Iran isn't only firing at fixed American facilities,
5:31
they're trying to hit US warships.
5:33
In recent days,
5:34
Iran has launched ballistic missiles at an American aircraft
5:36
carrier and other navy vessels operating in the region.
5:40
Centcom says those attacks failed,
5:42
but US officials told the Journal that some were close calls
5:46
and that Iran appears to be improving its ability to target ships that are moving.
5:50
And officials are now examining whether Chinese capabilities may
5:53
be helping Iran track those American naval assets.
5:57
Again,
5:58
None of this proves that Beijing is sitting
6:00
in a command center directing Iranian missile attacks.
6:03
But it does raise a question
6:06
Washington increasingly needs to answer.
6:08
How much does the Chinese government know
6:10
about the military support flowing from Chinese companies
6:14
to a country actively firing missiles at American troops?
6:17
The timing also creates another problem for Washington.
6:20
President Trump is scheduled to meet with
6:22
Chinese leader Xi Jinping on September 24,
6:25
and the Journal reports that Trump has made maintaining a good relationship with Xi
6:30
a priority.
6:31
Administration officials have reportedly tried
6:33
to avoid public confrontations with Beijing
6:36
that could derail that summit.
6:38
But reportedly behind the scenes
6:41
US officials have
6:42
already confronted their Chinese counterparts
6:45
about the satellite imagery tied to the Jordan attack.
6:47
I'm sure that will do it.
6:49
The Chinese reportedly pushed back
6:51
and demanded proof.
6:52
Now,
6:53
not to put too fine a point on it,
6:55
but
6:56
you would have to be naive or
6:57
willfully ignorant.
6:59
To think that these Chinese imagery companies
7:02
are acting on their own initiative,
7:04
providing information,
7:05
in other words,
7:05
to the Iranian regime that allows the IRGC to be more
7:08
effective and deadly in their targeting of US military assets,
7:11
to be doing something so sensitive and with
7:14
so much potential for blowback on the international stage
7:16
without getting authorization from the Chinese government.
7:20
Well,
7:20
that would be suicide for these Chinese imagery companies.
7:23
The Chinese Communist Party and China's People's Liberation Army
7:26
are hiding behind the thin facade of plausible deniability,
7:31
knowing full well that the Trump administration has
7:33
no interest in rocking the boat with China
7:35
ahead of the planned summit,
7:37
and a somewhat harshly worded memo or a diplomatic note from US underlings will
7:42
have no impact
7:43
on China's actions.
7:45
If the Chinese leadership wanted to stop their companies
7:48
from providing targeting assistance to the Iranian regime,
7:51
they could accomplish that task within the hour,
7:53
but that
7:54
isn't happening.
7:56
All right.
7:56
Coming up next,
7:57
Iran-backed Houthis sees a strategic Red Sea island
8:00
and a Russian drone strikes a train near the Polish border
8:04
on a route used by foreign leaders.
8:06
More on those stories when we come back.
8:10
Hey,
8:11
Mike Baker here.
8:12
Now,
8:12
do you ever feel like navigating the world of AI is a is a whole second job,
8:17
right?
8:17
One model writes copy,
8:19
another handles research,
8:20
and a third manages code.
8:22
Trying to finish a single project often ends up being more about
8:24
managing tools than actually working.
8:27
Constantly bouncing between five different interfaces.
8:30
Just to get one task done,
8:31
well,
8:31
that can be exhausting.
8:33
That's why Perplexity Computer is changing the game.
8:36
Instead of juggling fragmented models,
8:38
Perplexity Computer acts as the ultimate
8:41
orchestrator.
8:42
It seamlessly integrates leading AI models,
8:44
automatically choosing the perfect one for every step of the project.
8:48
Simply dictate what needs to be done,
8:49
whether it's analyzing market data or drafting a full presentation or
8:53
automating email follow-ups,
8:55
and watch the project get built.
8:57
It connects directly to work tools like Gmail and Slack handling the heavy lifting,
9:01
so the focus remains on strategy,
9:03
not tool management.
9:05
For a limited time only,
9:06
our PDB listeners can try Perplexity Computer for free.
9:09
Head on over to PPLX.AI/PDB.
9:13
Once again,
9:13
that's
9:13
PPLX.AI/PDB
9:17
to try it today.
9:18
Most AI tools,
9:19
well,
9:20
they're still answering questions
9:21
while Perplexity Computer
9:23
is completing full projects.
9:27
Welcome back to the PDB.
9:29
The last time we checked in on Yemen,
9:31
the Houthis were pushing down the country's Red Sea coast,
9:34
fighting their way toward the Bab al-Mdeb Strait.
9:37
Well,
9:38
late last week,
9:39
the Iran-backed militia seized Perem Island,
9:42
giving the Houthis a foothold directly inside the Bab al-Mdeb Strait.
9:46
The capture followed a rapid advance through Mocha
9:49
and toward the Hanish Islands that
9:51
pushed government aligned troops further south.
9:54
After days of fierce fighting,
9:55
the Houthis also took Dubob
9:57
directly across from Pevrim Island
9:59
before government forces withdrew from the island and Houthi fighters moved in.
10:04
Its fighters are now stationed along the
10:05
Yemeni coastline directly beside Baba Mandeb Strait
10:09
and on an island sitting in the middle of the strait.
10:12
Pepperim divides the narrowest section of Bab
10:14
al Mandeb into two shipping channels.
10:17
Any vessel moving between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden
10:20
has to pass through those waters.
10:22
For the Houthis,
10:23
that means getting much closer to the same commercial ships that they've
10:26
spent years threatening with missiles and drones.
10:29
Beginning in 2023,
10:31
the militia repeatedly attacked vessels in the Red Sea
10:34
from positions farther north in Yemen.
10:36
That's why a senior Yemen analyst at the International Crisis Group,
10:40
an independent organization that tracks conflicts around the world,
10:44
called the capture of Perrim Island a
10:46
game changer.
10:48
In the past,
10:48
the analysts said the Houthis were creating uncertainty around Babo Mandeb.
10:53
Now
10:53
they're gaining control of the territory surrounding it.
10:57
The Houthis insist that international shipping remains safe,
11:00
but there's one major exception,
11:02
and that's Saudi-linked vessels.
11:04
The militia declared a blockade against Saudi shipping earlier this year,
11:08
and its latest territorial gains
11:09
put Houthi forces in a much stronger position along the same Red Sea route
11:14
that Saudi Arabia has increasingly relied on
11:16
due to the instability in the Strait of Hormuz.
11:19
Iran has heavily disrupted oil traffic there,
11:22
forcing Saudi Arabia to
11:24
rely more heavily on its east-west pipeline
11:26
to move crude across the kingdom and then out through terminals on the Red Sea.
11:32
That pipeline can carry as much as 7 million barrels of oil a day,
11:36
but last week the Saudis' alternative route came under attack.
11:40
Several drones launched from Iraq's southern Maysan province
11:44
struck the pipeline in the Riyadh and Medina regions,
11:47
causing fires,
11:48
damage,
11:48
and injuries,
11:49
and ultimately
11:50
forcing Saudi Arabia to shut down the pipeline.
11:53
Now no group has so far claimed responsibility,
11:56
and Saudi and Iraqi officials
11:58
have not publicly identified who launched the attack.
12:01
Maysan,
12:02
however,
12:02
sits along the Iranian border and is home to Iran-backed armed groups.
12:07
Well,
12:08
if only we had some clues.
12:10
For now,
12:11
Saudi Arabia is holding off on retaliating,
12:13
giving the Iraqi government time to
12:15
find those responsible and prevent another attack from its territory.
12:19
Baghdad has condemned the attack and opened an investigation.
12:23
It also dismissed the military commander
12:25
responsible for the southern province of Maysan
12:28
where the drones were launched.
12:30
But there's another piece to all of this,
12:31
and that is,
12:32
of course,
12:33
Iran.
12:34
As its Houthi allies expanded their position around Bab al Mandeb,
12:38
the Iranian regime voiced support for Yemen's sovereignty.
12:41
Regime sources previously told Reuters that Tehran had
12:44
promised the Houthis additional weapons and funding
12:47
and had sent Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders to Yemen
12:51
to help coordinate the attacks.
12:53
The escalating threat has now also reached the White House.
12:56
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
12:58
recently urged President Trump to take military action against the Houthis.
13:03
Trump reportedly declined to commit US forces to that fight,
13:06
but agreed to continue providing intelligence and targeting assistance
13:10
as Washington focuses on protecting freedom of navigation in the Red Sea.
13:15
That mission has now become considerably more complicated.
13:19
Iran has already demonstrated its ability to choke
13:21
off oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
13:24
Now its Houthi allies
13:26
have a foothold inside the region's other
13:28
major maritime chokepoint.
13:32
Turning now to the war in Ukraine,
13:34
where Russia's drone campaign is once again
13:37
putting civilian infrastructure along NATO's eastern front
13:40
in the line of fire.
13:42
Over the weekend,
13:42
a Russian drone struck an evacuated train
13:45
little more than 1 mile from Poland
13:47
as Moscow unleashed its largest drone barrage against Ukraine in months.
13:51
The train had already been evacuated after Ukraine
13:54
received warning that an attack was coming.
13:56
Ukrainian authorities detached the locomotive from the passenger cars,
13:59
and the Russian drone
14:01
ultimately struck the engine.
14:03
The train was near the Yehoden border crossing,
14:06
which sits just over 1 mile from Poland,
14:09
traveling along one of the main railway corridors
14:12
that connects Ukraine with the rest of Europe.
14:15
Just minutes before the Russian drone hit,
14:17
another train had traveled along that same stretch of track
14:20
and crossed safely into Poland.
14:22
On board was a group of foreign dignitaries returning from a summit in Kiev,
14:26
including former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt.
14:29
Now foreign leaders have repeatedly used this corridor
14:32
to travel into and out of Ukraine
14:34
throughout the war,
14:35
including former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson
14:38
and Finnish President Alexander Stub.
14:40
The train attack got an immediate reaction from Poland.
14:43
Polish fighter jets were scrambled as Russian
14:45
attacks hit areas close to the border.
14:48
Warning alarms were also activated for residents in parts of eastern Poland.
14:53
The country's military said those measures were
14:55
preventive in nature
14:56
and intended to protect Polish airspace.
14:59
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk scheduled a special
15:01
meeting of the country's top security officials,
15:04
and Ukraine's Foreign Minister put the significance of the attack bluntly.
15:07
He called it
15:08
Putin's terror,
15:09
knocking directly on the doors of the EU and NATO,
15:13
and he urged Ukraine's allies to
15:15
throw the full weight of your sanctions at Putin's aggressive regime.
15:20
But this attack near Poland was only one small part
15:22
of what Russia unleashed against Ukraine over the weekend.
15:26
Ukraine's air force says Moscow launched 863
15:29
drones between Saturday and Sunday morning,
15:32
its largest drone barrage in months.
15:35
At one point,
15:36
more than 400 Russian drones were attacking Ukraine simultaneously,
15:40
something that hadn't happened since early July,
15:44
and Moscow wasn't limiting those attacks to Kiev or areas along the front.
15:48
For the first time,
15:49
Russia struck petrol stations in western Ukraine
15:52
after destroying hundreds of gas stations closer to the front earlier this summer.
15:57
The country's broader railway network was hit too.
16:00
A station was struck in the western city of Lutsk
16:02
where video posted to social media showed a passenger train burning.
16:06
Another station was hit in the Kiev region.
16:09
Those attacks come after weeks of Russian
16:11
strikes on civilian infrastructure across Ukraine,
16:14
including
16:14
Black Sea ports,
16:15
warehouses,
16:16
and shopping malls.
16:18
There's also something interesting about how
16:19
Russia carried out this latest barrage.
16:22
We've talked recently on the PDB about Moscow increasingly using newer
16:26
jet-powered drones that
16:28
fly faster and are more difficult for Ukraine to intercept.
16:32
But most of the drones that Russia launched this weekend
16:34
weren't those newer versions.
16:36
They were older,
16:37
slower,
16:37
piston-powered,
16:38
Shahed Iranian-made drones.
16:41
And Ukrainian officials believe Moscow deliberately chose conditions
16:44
that would make even those slower drones harder to stop.
16:47
The barrage came during cloudy and rainy weather,
16:50
which makes it more difficult for Ukrainian interceptor drone
16:53
pilots to find and destroy incoming Iranian-made shihads.
16:58
A Russian drone struck a grocery store in a region west of Kiev killing 2 people,
17:02
while a separate attack saw 9 injured around Odessa.
17:06
Ukrainian President Zelensky said Moscow's attacks are aimed at
17:10
destroying every facility that can help people withstand
17:13
the conditions of war.
17:16
All right.
17:17
Coming up in the back of the brief,

you work too hard to be trying to
18:52
figure out complex investment decisions on your own.

In today's back of the brief,
19:59
Canada is considering a remarkable economic shift toward Europe.
20:04
Prime Minister Mark Carney is exploring a new relationship
20:07
that could tie Ottawa much closer to the European Union.
20:10
According to the Wall Street Journal,
20:11
Carney
20:12
and other officials in Canada and Europe are discussing whether to create a new
20:16
status that would make Canada a so-called associate member of the EU bloc,
20:21
potentially giving the country much deeper access
20:24
to the European economy.
20:25
Notably,
20:26
the EU,
20:26
which has historically been reluctant to bend its membership rules,
20:30
is reportedly open to considering the idea,
20:33
and what they're talking about goes much farther
20:35
than another free trade agreement.
20:38
Canada and the EU are exploring ways to allow Canadian goods,
20:41
services,
20:42
and workers in strategic industries,
20:44
including energy and artificial intelligence,
20:46
defense,
20:47
and critical minerals,
20:48
to move much more freely between the two economies.
20:51
That arrangement could essentially shift the
20:53
EU's economic border across the Atlantic.
20:56
They're also discussing jointly building undersea cables,
20:59
data centers,
21:00
satellite networks,
21:01
and infrastructure to ship Canadian energy across the Atlantic.
21:05
Carney has raised another major possibility with European leaders
21:08
allowing Canadians to live and work more freely inside the EU.
21:12
According to the report,
21:14
he's spoken regularly with several European leaders,
21:16
most notably
21:17
French President Emmanuel Macron,
21:19
about some form of visa-free arrangement.
21:22
And this is where the US enters the frame,
21:24
as we've discussed before.
21:26
The trade fight between Ottawa and Washington has been all over the headlines,
21:30
with
21:30
tariffs now affecting tens of billions of dollars in cross-border trade.
21:35
That's given Carney considerably more incentive
21:37
to reduce Canada's dependence on the US
21:40
But doing that is much easier said than done.
21:44
Nearly 72% of all Canadian merchandise exports still went to the US last year,
21:49
and the two economies
21:50
have been deeply integrated for decades.
21:53
Europe can't simply replace that relationship,
21:56
but Canada has plenty that Europe wants,
21:58
including enormous energy resources,
22:00
critical minerals,
22:01
access to the Arctic,
22:02
and a growing defense industry.
22:05
Canada has already become the first non-European country
22:08
to participate in the EU's Safe defense initiative,
22:11
giving Canadian companies greater access to Europe's massive defense buildup.
22:16
So these latest discussions would take an existing shift
22:19
considerably further
22:21
if Europe gained substantially greater access to Canadian energy,
22:24
critical minerals,
22:25
and defense manufacturing.
22:27
The US could eventually find itself
22:29
competing more directly with Europe for Canadian investment,
22:32
production,
22:33
and resources.
22:34
But as you might suspect,
22:35
there are
22:36
major obstacles.
22:38
The EU would first have to create an entirely new associate member status
22:42
for a country on the other side of the Atlantic,
22:44
and Canada's existing trade agreement with Europe
22:47
does offer a warning.
22:49
More than a decade after that agreement was reached
22:51
and 9 years after it provisionally took effect,
22:54
several European countries
22:56
still haven't fully ratified it.
22:58
So
22:59
as you again could suspect,
23:00
deeper integration
23:02
may well face years of political and legal negotiations.
23:06
And that,
23:07
my friends,
23:07
