PDB Afternoon Bulletin | September 22nd, 2026: Tehran Offers To Reopen Hormuz & North Korea’s New Weapon
Summary
Host Mike Baker reports that Iran is offering to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the U.S. lifts its blockade, a move potentially linked to Chinese efforts to trade Middle East cooperation for reduced U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. The briefing also covers North Korea’s test of a new hypersonic missile, which Pyongyang claims challenges regional defenses but whose range and performance remain disputed by South Korean intelligence.
