In this episode of The PDB Situation Report: The United States and Iran have reportedly reached a draft agreement to extend their ceasefire for another 60 days, though the deal still requires President Trump's approval. Mike is joined by David Daoud of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies to discuss what the proposed agreement could mean for Iran's nuclear program and the broader security situation in the Middle East. Cuba's power grid is under growing strain as fuel shortages continue to fuel blackouts across the island, while the Trump administration opens a new front by bringing criminal charges against former Cuban leader Raúl Castro.
