PDB Afternoon Bulletin | January 23rd, 2026: Trump Delivers Major Warning To Iran & Putin Talks Peace While Pressing Maximalist Demands

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: 

• First—In his latest warning to the mullahs, President Trump says the U.S. has an “armada” heading toward Iran — as the death toll from the regime’s crackdown tops 5,000. So, what exactly is being deployed, and how close is Washington to military action?

• Later in the show—The first trilateral peace talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. are now underway — and everything hinges on territory. We’ll break down Moscow’s demands, Kyiv’s red lines, and why expectations for a breakthrough are already sinking.
