PDB Afternoon Bulletin | October 1st, 2026: Iran Is Preparing for a Much Wider War & Hezbollah’s Secret Syria Meeting

In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief:

• New reporting says Iran is preparing plans for a harder and potentially broader retaliation if the United States resumes major strikes, even as negotiations continue through Qatar.

• Hezbollah has reportedly held secret talks with Syria’s new government, a remarkable shift after years spent fighting to keep Bashar al-Assad in power and one that raises new questions about Iran’s influence over the group.
