February 5th, 2026: Wave of Explosions and Fires Has Iran & Trump’s Call With Xi

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

• First up— Iran is on edge after a series of explosions and fires erupted across the country within days. Deadly blasts in multiple cities and a massive market fire in Tehran have fueled fear and uncertainty, as many Iranians openly doubt official explanations.

  
  

• Later in the show— President Donald Trump speaks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping about Ukraine, trade, and Taiwan, as Washington and Beijing prepare for a high-stakes United States state visit to China.

  
  

• Plus— more on a deadly insurgency in southwest Pakistan, where security forces used helicopters and drones to retake a town after days of fighting.

  
  

• And in today’s Back of the Brief— a drawdown in Minneapolis, as the Trump administration moves to pull hundreds of federal officers out of Minnesota, scaling back the federal presence.
