In this episode of The PDB Situation Report: First up—after a month of fighting, the war with Iran may be entering its most decisive stretch, with the endgame still very much in question. Behnam Ben Taleblu from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies joins us to break it all down. Later in the show—Japan takes a major step away from its postwar defense posture, deploying long-range missiles that can reach the Chinese mainland. Gordon Chang stops by for more on that.
