PDB Afternoon Bulletin | April 10th, 2026: Trump Blasts Iran as Hormuz Standoff Deepens & Putin Declares Orthodox Easter Truce In Ukraine

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: 

• First—A ceasefire is holding between the United States and Iran—but the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively shut down. With shipping traffic still disrupted, negotiators are heading into peace talks under mounting pressure, as tensions between Washington and Tehran escalate once again.

• Later in the show—A brief Orthodox Easter ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine is set to take hold, but few believe it will last. Still, behind the scenes, one senior Ukrainian official now says a peace deal may be closer than expected. I’ll have the details.
