PDB Situation Report | November 15th, 2025: China’s Coming Digital Invasion of Taiwan & Tehran’s Looming Crisis
In this episode of The PDB Situation Report:

Iran’s Man-Made Water Collapse: Reservoirs are drying up, taps are running low, and experts are even whispering about the possibility of evacuating Tehran. Iran’s leadership is now facing a crisis of its own making—one that could shake the regime to its core. Shahin Gobadi of the National Council of Resistance of Iran is here to break it down.
