In this episode of The PDB Situation Report: We turn our attention inside Iran as economic hardship, political unrest, and growing public dissatisfaction continue to mount beneath the headlines of the U.S.-Iran confrontation. We're joined by Alireza Jafarzadeh for an insider's perspective on the regime's challenges and what may come next. Later, five months after the fall of Nicolás Maduro, Washington and Caracas continue taking steps toward rebuilding diplomatic ties. Retired CIA operations officer and former Caracas Station Chief Rick de la Torre joins us to discuss the evolving relationship between the United States and Venezuela and what it could mean for the region.
