PDB Situation Report | February 14th, 2026: The Iran–China Axis Exposed & Immigration Sweep Concludes

Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description

In this episode of The PDB Situation Report:

  • First up — The United States continues ramping up pressure on Iran, but some analysts argue the real strategic target may be China. We speak with Joshua Philipp about how Tehran fits into Beijing’s broader geopolitical ambitions, and why moves in the Middle East could be part of a much larger contest with the Chinese Communist Party.


  • Later in the show — The Trump administration announces it is ending Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota after more than four thousand immigration arrests. Art Arthur of the Center for Immigration Studies joins us to break down what the operation accomplished, why it is winding down now, and what it means for immigration enforcement moving forward.
