In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:

• First up—a Russian cargo aircraft tied to Moscow’s defense industry lands at a Cuban military base, raising fresh questions about renewed military coordination between Havana and the Kremlin. The flight is drawing comparisons to the secretive aircraft movements seen just weeks before Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro was taken into custody. I’ll walk through what we know and why it matters.

  
  

• Later in the show—despite the shootdown of an Iranian drone just one day earlier, new reporting suggests Washington and Tehran are quietly preparing to resume nuclear talks in Oman. Iran is signaling it may be open to limited compromises, even as tensions remain high across the region.
