## Resource

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: After signaling that a deal with Iran may be close, the White House is now running into the hard part as negotiations bog down over sanctions relief, uranium enrichment, and Tehran’s nuclear program. As optimism fades, both sides appear increasingly divided over what concessions Iran must make before receiving meaningful economic relief. Later in the show—the Pentagon releases a massive new batch of UFO investigation files, including military videos, audio recordings, and eyewitness testimony tied to encounters officials still struggle to explain. The release includes footage captured by military aircraft, strange objects near submarines, and testimony from a senior intelligence officer describing glowing orbs near a military helicopter.
