Welcome to the BDB situation report.

I'm Mike Baker, your eyes and ears on the world stage.

And yes, I am back on the road.

All right, let's get briefed. First up,

we're now one week into the conflict with Iran, maybe you heard about it, and the air campaign shows known signs of slowing as coalition aircraft continue hitting military targets across the country.

Former U.S. Air Force fighter by riot and Bowdenhire, you may know Ms. Max

Afterburner, joins us to give us this insight at the ongoing air campaign. Later in the show,

the fight against Tehran may be moving onto the ground with reports that Kurdish forces

could soon engage Iranian troops along the western border. We'll break it down with Bill

Grosio from the

Foundation for Defense of Democracies. But first, today's situation reports spotlight. The U.S. and

Israeli air campaign over Iran continues to intensify with coalition aircraft striking missile launch

sites, air defense systems, and military infrastructure across the country.

Officials say the goal is to degrade Terran's ability to retaliate, while steadily dismantling

the regime's command and control networks. Over the past week, waves of aircraft and long-range

strikes have targeted radar installations, air bases, and ballistic missile facilities,

all part of a broader effort to establish air superiority and keep Iran's remaining military assets

under constant pressure. The big question now is how sustainable that campaign is and what targets

may come next. Joining me now is Ryandenheimer, aka Max Afterburner.

Now, he's a former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot who flew 70 combat missions in the Middle East.

Ryan, welcome back, man, to the PDB Situation Report.
