On today’s DC Wrap, we take you from a festive weekend in Washington to the front lines of a tense international story. First, we preview the National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade, one of DC’s signature spring events. Festival President and CEO Diana Mayhew joins the show to talk about what families can expect, from marching bands and dancers to live performances and the excitement of finale weekend across the city. Then, we turn overseas, where reporter Doug Barnard shares what he witnessed near the Iran-Turkey border. From people fleeing conflict to others returning home, he offers a closer look at how ordinary Iranians are navigating uncertainty—and what they want Americans to understand. Plus, a quick check of the forecast, with warmer temperatures, dry skies, and a picture-perfect spring weekend ahead. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
