## Resource

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: First up — the U.S. and Iran are still officially negotiating peace… while simultaneously exchanging drones, missiles, and retaliatory strikes for the second time in less than a week. We’ll have the latest on the growing tensions near the Strait of Hormuz and why President Trump now says Iran is “negotiating on fumes.” Later in the show — new reports say the Pentagon plans to sharply reduce America’s combat commitments to NATO as President Trump pushes European allies to shoulder more of their own defense burden. The proposed cuts could reportedly impact fighter jets, warships, and strategic bombers available to the alliance during a future crisis.
