Summary

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.
