In today’s episode of The White House Briefing Room, Jon Decker breaks down the biggest national security and political developments shaping Washington and the world.

A second round of high-stakes U.S.-Iran nuclear talks in Geneva ends without a breakthrough, as tensions escalate with a growing U.S. military presence in the Middle East and renewed threats from both sides. What happens next—and how close are we to military confrontation?

Meanwhile, U.S.-mediated Russia-Ukraine negotiations enter a second day, with Moscow intensifying pressure through continued strikes and Kyiv signaling conditional concessions. Is a peace deal realistic, or are both sides too far apart?

Back in Washington, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sparks controversy after forcing out another senior Pentagon official—raising questions about internal divisions and political influence inside the military.

Plus, Stephen Colbert clashes with CBS and the FCC, igniting a debate over media control, censorship, and the “equal time rule” ahead of the 2026 election cycle.
