U.S. intelligence says Russia has provided Iran targeting data for American military assets.

1. The Docent Daily Brief, World News Edition focuses on Israel-Iran escalation, Russia’s support for Iran, a Miami summit, and the Munich Eisbach wave dispute. 2. The episode is anchored by the Docent Daily Brief team, which frames the day’s global news roundup and names President Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and Howard Lutnick as recurring figures. 3. The core question is how a cluster of military strikes, diplomacy, oil shocks, and local disputes is reshaping security from Tehran to Florida. 4. The report says Israeli strikes hit areas near Marabad Airport in Tehran, with images of commercial planes on fire and no Israeli confirmation of the airport attack. 5. It says strikes expanded into southern Beirut, evacuation warnings followed, and about 300,000 people have fled homes in Lebanon. 6. The episode notes that Israel reportedly struck more than 400 targets across western Iran, including missile launch sites and drone facilities. 7. It says U.S. intelligence reports show Russia sharing satellite images and targeting data with Iran for American military assets. 8. The host says Trump demanded Iran’s “unconditional surrender,” and that U.S. officials are describing the military situation as part of “Operation Epic Fury.” 9. The episode also says President Massoud Pazeshkian apologized to neighboring nations in a video statement while saying Iran will not provoke attacks unless directly threatened. 10. The summit segment says Trump will host the first Shield of the Americas summit at Doral Resort in Florida with Noem as special envoy. 11. It names 12 countries expected at the summit and says leaders from Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico will not attend. 12. The same segment says the meeting will center on migration, drug trafficking, regional security, and a proposed Doral Charter. 13. The Munich segment says surfers have spent decades riding the Eisbach wave in Englischer Garten Park, 200 miles from the nearest ocean. 14. It says the wave disappeared after city dredging following a drowning, and that surfers tried to rebuild it with a 20-foot metal bar that the current swept away. 15. The India naval segment says the IRIS LAVAN docked in Kochi with 183 crew, after Iran requested docking because of technical issues. 16. It says the U.S. Navy confirmed the sinking of the IRIS DINA off Sri Lanka and that the USS CHARLOTTE fired torpedoes. 17. The counter-drone discussion says Pentagon officials are meeting Ukraine because Ukrainian forces have direct experience defending against Iranian Shahed drones. 18. The energy segment says the Middle East accounts for about 30% of the world’s oil and 17% of its natural gas supply, and that oil prices jumped more than 10%. 19. Listeners who follow Middle East security, U.S. foreign policy, and oil markets would get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners who want a narrow single-story narrative or deep local features may skip it.
