In this episode of The PDB Situation Report:
We kick off with a look at events in the Middle East, most notably the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed by a hidden explosive device in Tehran while attending the swearing-in of Iran's new president, Masoud Pezeshkian. We'll be joined by Senior Fellow Behnam Ben Taleblu from the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies to discuss the fallout.
Later in the show, Venezuela's government is cracking down on any resistance to President Nicolás Maduro, announcing hundreds of arrests following this week's election... okay, it wasn't really an election... but, whatever you want to call the bogus process, evidence suggests Maduro lost decisively. WSJ South America Bureau Chief Juan Forero will bring us the latest on that.
