    PDB Situation Report | March 7th, 2026: Fighter Pilot Breaks Down The First Week Of The Iran Air War
    Mar 7 2026
    In this episode of The PDB Situation Report: One week into the conflict with Iran, the coalition air campaign continues at full intensity as aircraft strike military targets across the country. Former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot Ryan Bodenheimer joins us to explain how these operations are unfolding, what the targets reveal about the strategy, and what the early days of the air war tell us about where the campaign could go next. The war may soon expand beyond the skies. Reports suggest Kurdish forces could engage Iranian troops along the country’s western border, potentially opening a new front in the conflict. Bill Roggio from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies joins us to break down the possibility of Kurdish involvement and what it could mean for Tehran’s already stretched military.

    PDB Afternoon Bulletin | March 6th, 2026: Is Iran’s Regime Beginning to Crack? & War Powers Fight Fizzles on Capitol Hill
    Mar 6 2026
    In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: First—The U.S. and Israeli air campaign against Iran is achieving overwhelming military results. But as reports swirl that some of the IRGC’s security forces are failing to report for duty, the major question intelligence analysts are asking now isn’t about bombs or missiles — it’s about the stability of the regime itself. Later in the show—An effort in Congress aimed at limiting President Trump’s war powers over Iran collapsed this week on Capitol Hill, leaving the administration with broad latitude to continue the campaign. I’ll explain what lawmakers were trying to do, and why it didn’t succeed. To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President’s Daily Brief by visiting PDBPremium.com.

  • March 6th, 2026: Iran War Already A Major Embarrassment For Xi Jinping & Lebanon’s IRGC Crackdown

    March 6th, 2026: Iran War Already A Major Embarrassment For Xi Jinping & Lebanon’s IRGC Crackdown
    Mar 6 2026
    In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Chinese-made air defense systems are facing intense scrutiny after appearing to fail during the opening phase of the U.S. and Israeli strike campaign against Iran. Beijing has long marketed these systems as rivals to Western technology, but the results on the battlefield are raising serious questions about their real-world performance. Israel continues its operations against Hezbollah as Lebanon’s government announces that members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps operating inside the country will now face arrest and deportation. The move signals rising pressure on Tehran’s network in Lebanon as the regional conflict intensifies. After years of defending against Iranian-made drones in its war with Russia, Ukraine is now sharing that battlefield knowledge with the United States and several Middle Eastern partners looking to improve defenses against Tehran’s growing drone arsenal. President Trump announces a major leadership change at the Department of Homeland Security, replacing Secretary Kristi Noem with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin.
