About this episode

The episode discusses the U.S. opening a shipping lane in the Strait of Hormuz amid Iranian attacks and the temporary ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: First up—the United States begins to make headway in the Strait of Hormuz, successfully opening a narrow, protected corridor for commercial ships despite Iranian attacks. But with Tehran continuing to test the limits, the question is how long that fragile pathway can remain open. Later in the show—Russia and Ukraine both signal a temporary ceasefire ahead of Victory Day, but conflicting timelines and mixed messaging are already casting doubt on whether any pause in the fighting will actually take hold.
