Tensions in the Middle East reach a critical point as the United States ramps up military forces near Iran—raising the possibility of a sustained air campaign if nuclear negotiations collapse. In today’s White House Briefing Room, Jon Decker breaks down the latest U.S.-Iran developments, including the deployment of advanced fighter jets, aircraft carriers, and the high-stakes diplomatic standoff over uranium enrichment.

Back in Washington, President Trump convenes the first-ever “Board of Peace,” a sweeping international initiative aimed at rebuilding Gaza and stabilizing the region. With billions pledged and dozens of nations involved, the plan could reshape the future of Middle East diplomacy—but major questions remain about Hamas, security, and long-term governance.

Plus, a media firestorm erupts as Stephen Colbert clashes with the FCC over alleged censorship tied to the equal time rule, igniting a broader debate about political speech, corporate media, and government oversight.

And finally—Air Force One may be getting a bold new look, as President Trump revives his signature red, white, and gold design for the next generation of presidential aircraft.
