Until then, stay informed, stay safe, stay cool.

Welcome to the PDB Situation Report.

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

All right, let's get briefed.

First up, a rocky week in the Iran conflict, that's putting it mildly, with failed negotiations, increased aggression in the Strait of Hormuz, and a ceasefire that's, well, sort of holding together, at least for now.

Former White House National Security Council official Richard Goldberg stops by to give his insights.

Later in the show, a new analysis warns that the U.S.,

is burning through key munitions faster than they can be replaced.

Well, that doesn't sound good.

Raising concerns, of course, about readiness if another conflict erupts.

Open source intelligence analyst Ryan McBeth, you know, we love him, joins us for more on that.

But first, today's Situation Report Spotlight.

It's been a volatile week in the Iran conflict, with diplomacy faltering even as the fighting remains paused.

Planned negotiations appear to have fallen apart, with Tehran signaling it may not be ready or willing to come to the table.

They just don't seem interested.

At the same time, Iran has taken a more aggressive posture in the Strait of Hormuz, targeting commercial shipping and raising the risk of escalation.
