In this episode of The PDB Situation Report:


Western intelligence officials are warning that Iran could activate proxy networks across Europe if the United States moves forward with military strikes against Tehran. From sleeper cells to Hezbollah-linked operatives, the threat landscape could shift quickly beyond the Middle East. Former head of MI6 Sir Richard Dearlove joins us to break down what Europe may be facing — and how serious this warning really is.


In a historic first, U.S. combat aircraft are now operating from Israeli soil as Washington prepares for the possibility of strikes on Iran. The deployment marks a dramatic expansion of military coordination between the two allies. Defense analyst Ryan McBeth joins us to assess what aircraft are in play, what missions they could be tasked with, and how Tehran may respond.
