Welcome to the PDB Afternoon Bulletin.

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

All right, let's get briefed.

First up, Iran is facing a major new pressure point as a U.S.

blockade leaves its oil piling up with nowhere to go.

That pressure is building toward a potential shutdown of their industry that could cause lasting damage to the country's most important business.

Later in the show, Mexican forces capture a key Jalisco New Generation cartel figure, a man once seen as a potential successor to the now deceased El Mencho.

But first, today's afternoon spotlight.

Iran is continuing to feel the pinch of the U.S.

naval blockade against its ports, and now the problem isn't just their bottom line that's being strained.

Because under the weight of the blockade, Tehran isn't just struggling to sell its crude oil, it's now struggling to store it.
