Daily Intelligence Brief - Mar 14, 2026
The global order is reorganizing, with the US and its allies facing challenges from multiple fronts. Trump’s decision to ease sanctions on Russian oil stranded at sea has been met with criticism from Europe, with Ukraine and other countries condemning the move. The FCC chair has also threatened to throttle news broadcasts if they continue to report on Iran war coverage they deem as “hoaxes”.
Trump’s attempt to negotiate a ceasefire with Iran has been met with skepticism, with the country’s leaders not ready to make a deal. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has urged the UK and other countries to send ships to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. The US has also eased sanctions on Russian oil to counter a Middle East supply shock.
Watch for:
- The impact of the eased sanctions on Russia’s oil production and its potential effects on global energy markets.
- Further developments in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, including any potential escalation or diplomatic efforts to resolve the issue.
- Trump’s next move on Iran, including whether he will follow through on his threat to send US military assets to the region.
