February 20th, 2026: Trump Announces Deadline For Iran & U.S. Exit From Syria

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

• The clock is ticking on Iran. President Trump says Tehran has ten days to strike a nuclear deal — or face consequences — as U.S. forces assemble the largest concentration of firepower in the Middle East since the Iraq invasion.

  
  

• The United States begins withdrawing all troops from Syria, ending a decade-long mission against Islamic State and reshaping America’s footprint in the region.

  
  

• A South Korean court sentences former President Yoon Suk Yeol to life in prison over his failed martial law declaration, marking a historic ruling in Seoul.

  
  

• And in today’s Back of the Brief — the Pentagon enters a new nuclear era, airlifting its first-ever battlefield microreactor.
