Mike Baker

We've got David Dowd.

an expert on Lebanon, and Hezbollah from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and also retired Colonel Wesley Martin.

He brings extensive experience working in the Middle East to the show to discuss the current situation in Iran.

I'm Mike Baker, and I'll be back over the weekend with the PDB Situation Report.

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

It's Friday, the 10th of April.

Welcome to the President's Daily Brief.

I'm Mike Baker.

Your eyes and ears on the world stage.

And yes, back out on the road.

All right, let's get briefed.

First up, Prime Minister Netanyahu makes a move toward diplomacy, announcing direct talks with Lebanon as Washington reportedly pushes Israel to ease off attacks on Hezbollah in an effort to ease tensions with Iran ahead of planned ceasefire talks.

I'll bring you the details.

Later in the show, a massive cyber breach in China, with hackers reportedly stealing sensitive military data, including missile schematics from a state-run supercomputer.

Plus, Spain moves to reopen its embassy in Tehran as President Trump blasts NATO allies over their stance on the Iran conflict.

And finally, in the back of the brief, Artemis II begins its return to Earth tonight, entering the final and arguably most dangerous phase of the mission.

But first, today's PDB Spotlight.

As a U.S.

delegation prepares to meet Iranian diplomats in Islamabad today, one of the key points of friction remains Israel's ongoing conflict with Hezbollah.

Now, earlier this week, President Trump reportedly urged Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to scale back strikes in Lebanon in an effort to prevent the already tenuous ceasefire from unraveling or unraveling further.
