Trump gets a daily video montage briefing about the Iran war
— Timothy McBride (@mcbridetd.bsky.social) 2026-03-25T09:42:27.339Z
The montage, which typically runs for about two minutes, has raised concerns among some of the presidentâs allies that he may not be receiving the complete picture of the war.

WASHINGTON Each day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video update for President Donald Trump that shows video of the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours, three current U.S. officials and a former U.S. official said.
The daily montage typically runs for about two minutes, sometimes longer, the officials said. One described each daily video as a series of clips of stuff blowing up.
The highlight reel of U.S. Central Command bombing Iranian equipment and military sites isnt the only briefing Trump gets about the war. Hes also updated through conversations with top military and intelligence advisers, foreign leaders and news reports, the officials said.
But the video briefing is fueling concerns among some of Trumps allies that he may not be receiving or absorbing the complete picture of the war, now in its fourth week, two of the current officials and the former official said.
