But another story that 159 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: we've been reading this morning, if you're trying to make 160 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: sense of so much of the turmoil that's happening in 161 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: the world this morning, Bloomberg Opinions, Clive Krook has been 162 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: writing about a thesis as to why the world appears 163 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: to becoming so much more fragmented. He points to a 164 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: book from the economist Aswar Prasad called The Doom Loop, 165 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: which finds that the global economic disorder is self sustaining 166 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: and that the forces you might expect to be able 167 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: to restore stability don't seem to be working. And a 168 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: lot of this, Prasad argues, is to do with the 169 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: degradation of the relationship between the US and China. The 170 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: trade relationship often seen by thinkers as something that drives 171 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: economic growth and stability. The fact that that's intertwined with 172 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: a geopolitical relationship as complic hated. Some of the outcomes 173 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: of that as well, and that's leading to essentially a 174 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: rivalry that's you know, helping to drive divisions in many 175 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: parts of society. 176 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, there are also some interesting some solutions 177 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 2: that he tries to offer, basically urging governments to rebuild 178 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,479 Speaker 2: broken national and international institutions to try to promote accountability 179 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 2: and rule base sort of positive sum competition. I mean, 180 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 2: it sounds quite hopeful, doesn't it, when many more of 181 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 2: us maybe feel more like the doom loop title of 182 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 2: that book is more appropriate. But I do also wonder, 183 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 2: you know, the notion that globalization had leaders has had losers, 184 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 2: you know, was known for really quite a long time. 185 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 2: It's a pity that there wasn't sort of a more 186 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 2: adequate economic response ten twenty years ago. Now we're in 187 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 2: this very very difficult position. 188 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, plenty of food for thought in that. So we'll 189 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: put a link to it on our podcast show notes. Well, 190 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: let's bring you the late from the Middle East. Now, 191 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: if Donald Trump gave around until tonight to reopen the 192 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: strait of jaimus our Middle East breaking these edit, Patrick 193 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: Sykes joins us Now for more, Patrick, how has Iran 194 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: responded to this latest threat? This deadline from the US President, 195 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 1: who says that he'll bomb power plants if they don't 196 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: meet this time limit that he's given. 197 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, Ron supposedly promised to respond both in kind and 198 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 7: then up the ante beyond that. So among the threats 199 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,359 Speaker 7: it's listed from various officials, we've had threats to energy installations, 200 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 7: power plants, desalination plants, the plants that make the water 201 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 7: around the Gulf for golf Arab countries appropriate for drinking it, 202 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 7: facilities in countries in the region, and specific countries that 203 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 7: supply electricity to US basis, so Iran trying to take 204 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 7: the electricity theme and then reconnect it to that geography 205 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 7: where it's able to strike the last one. Also financial 206 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 7: entities that buy US treasury bonds. So a really broad 207 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 7: spread of threats that Iran's made in response to this, 208 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 7: I think in part because that would be a significant 209 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 7: escalation via the US. And we're seeing again this strategy 210 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 7: by Iran to try and match it in kind and 211 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 7: then go beyond in order to restore the terrence as well. 212 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, so real worry about spiraling. Israel says that 213 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 2: it's targeted Iranian infrastructure in its latest wave of strikes. 214 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 2: So in terms of the attacks and what's actually happening 215 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 2: across the region, what's the latest today. 216 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, the idea of didn't specify what exactly infrastructure that 217 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 7: they targeted and around, but it could be anything from 218 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 7: electrical visibly that Trump threat, to missiles to nuclear program 219 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 7: all those boockets that we've seen in the conflict so far. 220 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 7: I think the most significant strikes over the weekend was 221 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 7: Iran hitting Israe those southern cities of Arad and Demona. 222 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 7: We know that they injured one hundred and fifteen people. 223 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 7: I think that's one of the larger casualty counts we've 224 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 7: seen in the conflicts so far, and Demona in particular 225 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 7: is really important because it's close to that town where 226 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 7: Israel has its key nuclear research facility, and that particular 227 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 7: strike came on the day that Israel had itself targeted 228 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 7: an Iranian nuclear facility of the Tanse. So again we're 229 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 7: seeing Iran try to demonstrate that it's got the will 230 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 7: and the capability to respond in kind if it's prompted 231 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 7: to do so. 232 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: Patrick wanted to dig into some of the market moves 233 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: that we're saying with Marcod Morphomur Market's live team in 234 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: just a moment. But the question of where we are 235 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: in terms of energy supplies and what the extended closure 236 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: now of the strait of war moves means, there is 237 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: no prospect it seems of relief for energy markets. 238 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 7: Indeed, Yeah, and I think at this stage markets, you know, 239 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 7: with all these threats flying markets are slightly waiting to 240 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 7: see which of them are realized. You know, we've seen 241 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 7: Trump pull back from threats before during the protests in 242 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 7: Iran earlier this year. We've seen Iran itself make threats 243 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 7: or claim that it's targeted things which don't seem to 244 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 7: have been true. So the scope for both of those 245 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 7: positions to move, I think the markets will just be 246 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 7: watching for exactly what among that tiger list does get 247 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 7: to get hit. But bottom line is, yeah, they're still 248 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 7: very nervous about the prospect of escalation. We saw was 249 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 7: it last week with the South Pass attacks that sparked 250 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 7: a spiral of a series of attacks by Iran on 251 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 7: various energy facilities in the Gulf that seemed to have 252 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 7: been kind of rained in and both sides seem to 253 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 7: have agreed that was mutually non beneficial. But with this 254 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 7: threat in terms of power plants were back in that territory, 255 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 7: and any such strike I think would set off a 256 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 7: similar retaliatory wave. 257 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 2: Okay, Patrick, thank you so much for being with us 258 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 2: this morning. Patrick's size is our Middle East breaking news editor. 259 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 2: Stay with us. More from Bloomberg Day BAQUB coming up 260 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 2: after this. Now, we've seen a deeper sell off in stocks, 261 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 2: gold and bonds as the rhetoric has grown more aggressive 262 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 2: between the US and Iran over the strait of horn Moos. 263 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 2: We want to bring in our market's Live executive editor 264 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 2: Mark hard Moore really to think about what's happened over 265 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 2: the weekend and what may come this week for investors. Mark, 266 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 2: good morning. We've seen oil prices, fertilizer costs, food prices, 267 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 2: and production all seeing growing risks and rising prices. What 268 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 2: do you think the markets are expecting with Presidents Trump's 269 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 2: forty eight our ultimatum to Tehran. 270 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 8: Despite the selloff we've seen in ourse's today, I think 271 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 8: markets are still structurally complacent about the conflict. I obviously 272 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 8: have no inside loop exactly how the conflict's going to 273 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 8: play out. I don't think President Trump has a clue 274 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 8: plays out, so I don't see how I have any 275 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 8: extra special edge. The hard bit is that we don't 276 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 8: know how Iran's going to act, and they have less 277 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 8: incentives for an off ramp, even though the US does 278 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 8: want an off ramp. So I don't know any conviction 279 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 8: how the conflict plays out. But the market continues to 280 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 8: be far too optimistic because they're focused on the fact 281 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 8: that we always get a Trump taco, you know, Geopolitical 282 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 8: risk in the Middle East is always a fade. We've 283 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 8: got the mid terms comeing up, so the US doesn't 284 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 8: have any intense to continue going. They're all based on 285 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 8: the idea that the US has near unilateral control over 286 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 8: the conflict, which is not the case at all. In fact, 287 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 8: as Trump's threatened, the Weekend implicitly accepts it is a 288 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 8: Ran who controls the straight up remos and when it 289 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 8: will reopen, and they don't have an election cycle to 290 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 8: worry about, and may have in sentences to actually keep 291 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 8: the straight longer, to actually help the regime keep the 292 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 8: the straight closed, to kind of show their power. So 293 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 8: I think markets are still positioned way too complacently overall, 294 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 8: and that means. What that means is that while I 295 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 8: don't know how the conflict plays out. I still think 296 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 8: despite the cell offs who saw Friday and today, despite 297 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 8: the worst month for global stocks in three and a 298 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 8: half years, despite precious metal selling out, we still have 299 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 8: negative convexity in markets, which means that normally after a 300 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 8: big sell off, it's more likely the more powerful moves 301 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 8: will be the bounce, but at this stage that it 302 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 8: can be powerful in both directions, and I expect that 303 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 8: any bounce or a laf on a sign of de 304 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 8: escalation will prove to be able the deceased feline variety, 305 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 8: because even if we get de escalation of the conflict, 306 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 8: it doesn't provide clarity exactly when traffic will resume normally 307 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 8: in the straight of remos. 308 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: Given all of that uncertainty, then how significant do you 309 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: see the yield spike given the concerns about inflation. Looking 310 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: at Australia, you know, the tenure yield there up another 311 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: nine basis points this morning. 312 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, Like, I think what's interesting is so far as 313 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 8: we've got a stygflationary impulse from this conflict, and everyone's 314 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 8: trading the inflation part of that styplation impulse at some point, 315 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 8: and I think that you know, when I say some. 316 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 8: I think that's going to be imminently. I think this 317 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 8: week we're going to start focusing more on the demand 318 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 8: destruction side, and therefore, to me, yields are where there's 319 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 8: less obvious value and move from here. I think there's 320 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 8: a lot more two way risk. I think that other 321 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 8: assets still have not fully priced in that the conflict 322 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 8: extending a bit further. Whereas bonds have traded the conflict 323 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 8: aggressively till now, but they haven't traded the idea that 324 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 8: it extends further. It means actually yields could go lower 325 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 8: because of the growth destruction. 326 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 2: And so what do you think that means to precious metals? 327 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 2: I mean, have we seen the size of the move 328 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 2: then commend to with the risks you think In gold, 329 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 2: which is down almost five percent today, I still think. 330 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 8: There's probably more downside. I mean, not necessarily short term. 331 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 8: Short term looks like we've had capitulation. We've done on 332 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 8: the near term stops, but as you know, we've talked 333 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 8: abot the last couple of weeks. I still think gold 334 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 8: overall has downside. You know, you've got a world of 335 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 8: stronger dollar hire yields. We've played the geopolitical risk theme, 336 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 8: so you know, arbitrary. I was asked earlier about you 337 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 8: how much downsaid, Look, this is not based on anything systematic, 338 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 8: but yeah, the breakout level last year was going above 339 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 8: three thousand, six hundred, so that's at a very superficial level. 340 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 8: That's what I've kind of got my you know, finger 341 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 8: in the air level of works. But gold to go 342 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 8: back to, I think precious metals have a lot more 343 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 8: downside still. 344 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: Okay, Mark, thank you very much. Our Markets Live executive 345 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: editor at Mark Cudmore there at this weekend marked the 346 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: start of the Persian New year. No Rus is celebrated 347 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: not only in Iran but also by the diaspora around 348 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: the world, although this year has been markedly different because 349 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: of the war. Bloomberger porter Tala At Madi has been 350 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,479 Speaker 1: writing about this for Bloomberg Weekend, and she joins us 351 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: now for more. Tala, good morning. Your family is Iranian, 352 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 1: but you write about how you've never been to Iran. 353 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 1: What does no Rus mean to you? 354 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 9: So for me, all though, nor Ruse is you know, 355 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 9: it's a time of renewal, it's a time of prosperity. 356 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 9: If it's a time of rebirth, it's also the time 357 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 9: everyone comes together. For me, my memories are marked by 358 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 9: you know, those big family gatherings where we'd have massive 359 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 9: amounts of sabsi pull obamachi, which is her and Brice 360 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 9: and fish, of music, of dancing. But it's also because 361 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 9: it was the time of year where Iran was brought 362 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 9: into our home thousands of miles away. It was the 363 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 9: time where it was in our music, and it was 364 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 9: also in our rituals. There's many rituals for nou Rus, 365 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 9: but some of them includes the half Seen table where 366 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,239 Speaker 9: you decorate your table with seven symbolic items starting with 367 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 9: the with the letter S those horner Tekoni which is 368 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 9: shaking the house, which is hoovering and polishing each corner 369 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 9: to embrace positivity. Was all of those little rituals that 370 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,479 Speaker 9: seeped into our home that felt like I was in Iran. 371 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 9: But for me, the most significant part of Norrus is 372 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,479 Speaker 9: when you know, the food was pushed aside, the plates 373 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 9: were pushed into the corner, all of our teacups were filled, 374 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 9: and my family would just talk about their memories of Iran. 375 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 9: You know the streets they grew up on, the markets 376 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 9: where they brought their groceries. I felt like I was 377 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 9: found bought it into Tehran and I had never even 378 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 9: been there. And for me, it was the one time 379 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 9: of the year where you felt so culturally connected to 380 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 9: a place that you may never even have the opportunity 381 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 9: to visit. And I think it's it's the same for 382 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 9: many in the diaspora. It's a way that we can 383 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 9: celebrate with our family but also feel very culturally connected. 384 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 2: Gosh, how evocative what has no really has been like 385 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 2: then this year and for other members in the Iranian 386 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 2: diaspora that you've been speaking to, so this year, nor. 387 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 9: Rouse feels very different. It's you know, quite elaborate. You 388 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 9: have these big family gatherings. It's full of music, it's 389 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 9: full of dancing. But it's a lot more subdued this year. 390 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 9: And that's because there's there's quite a lot of heaviness 391 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 9: with everything that's going on. When you have you know, 392 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 9: your family who's there and you're hearing from them, you know, 393 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 9: every other day of what's going on, it feels wrong 394 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 9: to celebrate in such you know, kind of ostentatious ways. 395 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 9: It's a lot more quiet. It's because you know, there's 396 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 9: there's this emotional toll that's that's that's on you because 397 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 9: your family is you know, living through all of this, 398 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 9: so it feels wrong to, you know, celebrate that we're 399 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 9: still doing the rituals like the half seene table where 400 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 9: you know there's those seven symbolic items and you know 401 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 9: we might you know, have sabzy pull oba mohy, but 402 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 9: just kind of in the kitchen, sitting around the table. 403 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 9: But there's no family gatherings this year. And I think 404 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 9: you know, a lot of us, a lot of us 405 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 9: are feeling and we're celebrating very differently. 406 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: How much are you hearing out of those that you 407 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: know in Iran? How possible is it to be in 408 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: contact with people there? 409 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 9: So obviously with the internet blackout, you don't really hear 410 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 9: much from your family. You hear from them very soporadically. 411 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 9: And because of that, the uncertainty feels even worse, because 412 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 9: you know, you're checking your phone to see if they've replied, 413 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 9: you're looking through headlines, and just because you're physically removed 414 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 9: doesn't mean you're not emotionally pulled. And I think that's 415 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 9: what a lot of us in the diaspora are feeling, 416 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 9: because you're not able to be in contact with your 417 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 9: family members who are there. You know, you're trying to 418 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 9: find out what's going on through news headlines, you know, 419 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 9: restless nights kind of seeing which areas have been hit, 420 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 9: and when you do get into contact with them, you know, 421 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 9: I have to say, one thing that many of us 422 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 9: can relate to is there's just so much hope at 423 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 9: the moment. There's so much hope and that everything will 424 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 9: go back to some sort of normality, and you know, 425 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 9: you expect to hear from them and for them to 426 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 9: be Obviously they're very concerned on what's going on, but 427 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 9: I think a lot of them are kind of clinging 428 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 9: on to that hopefully this will be over very soon. 429 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 9: But you know, your daily essentials like walking to the supermarket, 430 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 9: even you know, your work is completely disrupted and they're 431 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 9: kind of just stuck at home. When we do speak 432 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 9: to them, you know, it's not safe at all to 433 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,719 Speaker 9: go out, and so it's very concerning. Well, obviously you're 434 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 9: just hearing from the other side, and then you don't 435 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 9: hear from them for days, and then when you do, 436 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 9: there's obviously a sense of relief, but that just constant uncertainty, 437 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 9: just filsy all the time. 438 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 2: I wonder if I can ask you something personal, do 439 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 2: you think that you'll ever visitor on. 440 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 9: I think it feels even that likelihood feels even further 441 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 9: than it has ever been before, just because obviously, with 442 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 9: everything that's going on, I never even had the possibility 443 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 9: to go. Every time I'd ask my parents, there'd always 444 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 9: be you know, the very sad nurse and always that 445 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 9: the constant rejection of that we can't go. I couldn't 446 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 9: have the possibility, just you know, the safety as a woman. Also, 447 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 9: they were worried about, you know, navigating those cultural barriers 448 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 9: when you've grown up in the West for most of 449 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 9: your life, and also when you're young and if you've 450 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 9: been to Iran, if you get questioned at borders if 451 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 9: you want to travel, and makes it all the more difficult. 452 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 9: And they never really wanted me to experience that. But 453 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 9: I thought, you know, at some point I would go 454 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 9: by myself, you know, and when I'm older or maybe 455 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 9: you know, those restrictions in my ease. But with everything 456 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 9: that's going on at the moment, it feels like that 457 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 9: possibility has just become more narrow. 458 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Europe.
