Executive Summary
US-Iran diplomatic efforts have collapsed, with President Trump considering military options to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, pushing Brent crude oil prices toward $105 per barrel.
A high-stakes summit between President Trump and China's Xi Jinping is imminent, where the US will seek China's help in pressuring Iran, while China's primary focus is securing concessions on Taiwan.
The escalating tensions and questions about US reliability are reportedly causing key allies like Japan and South Korea to consider developing their own nuclear weapons, signaling a potential shift in the global security landscape.
The US military is heavily investing in AI and cyber warfare, developing autonomous systems for both offensive and defensive operations and working to secure national critical infrastructure against state-level threats.
