In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:

• First up — Israel strikes the very body responsible for selecting Iran’s next supreme leader, targeting members of the Council of Experts in what appears to be a calculated move to prolong Tehran’s leadership vacuum and prevent the regime from consolidating power after the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. We examine what this means for Iran’s internal stability and whether the Islamic Republic can reestablish command and control.

• Later in the show — Iran escalates further, launching drone strikes against the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital. While casualties were limited, the attack signals a widening battlefield and raises serious questions about Tehran’s willingness to directly target American diplomatic facilities across the region.
