PDB Afternoon Bulletin | July 17th, 2026: The U.S. Just Cut Off Iran's Military & Trump Accuses China of 2020 Election Interference

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: First—for nearly a week, the U.S. has been targeting Iran’s missiles, drones and naval forces. But overnight, Washington expanded its target list. American forces struck bridges, rail links and other infrastructure that keeps Iran’s military supplied. And that could reveal how Washington intends to pressure Iran moving forward. Later in the show—President Trump is putting China at the center of the debate over the 2020 election, releasing a trove of newly declassified intelligence documents that the White House says point to Chinese election interference. We'll break down the allegations, the newly released documents, and Beijing's response.
