Both sides are 7 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 3: striking a defiant tone, including Iran's new Supreme Leader, much 8 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 3: to Bahameinni, and his first public statement since the fighting began. 9 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 3: We get the very latest from Bloomberg Middle East correspondent 10 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 3: Jumana Bersecci in Dubai. 11 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 4: It is fair to say that the messaging was one 12 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,639 Speaker 4: of defiants. He's saying that they are vowing to keep 13 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 4: the strait of hormones closed. Other fronts will be opened 14 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 4: up as well. They will continue their strikes on US 15 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 4: bases and therefore it's a warning to Gulf states that 16 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 4: as long as they continue to harbor those US bases, 17 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 4: they will continue to be targeted and that they are 18 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 4: looking for reparations, which is similar to the posts that 19 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 4: the President had put up the prior days stipulated the 20 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 4: condition for them to come to the negotiating table. 21 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 3: Bloomberg's Jumana Barsecci reports, President Trump posted his own message 22 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 3: on social media, warning the US has quote unlimited firepower, 23 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,839 Speaker 3: unlimited ammunition, and plenty of time.

Iran was 34 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 5: an early supplier of drones that Russia used when it 35 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 5: first invaded Ukraine because in certainly didn't have its own. 36 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 5: It's now copied those Iranian drones and it's helping Iran 37 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 5: with intelligence like satellite data to spot targeting and also 38 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 5: giving some information about how they used these Iranian style 39 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 5: drones to evade Western and particular American air defenses. 40 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: And Bloomberg Tony Halpin says Russia has denied involvement. 41 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 3: And as the fighting goes on, Karen oil continues to 42 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 3: rise in price. Brent crude closed above one hundred dollars 43 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 3: a barrel last night for the first time since August 44 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 3: of twenty twenty two.

Bloombergs. Will Kennedy reports these moves are having 51 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 3: little impact. 52 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 6: And it seems that Yvonne is employing a strategy to 53 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 6: really interfere with halt all oil exports in the region 54 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 6: by ship apart from its own. It's important to remember 55 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 6: that Ivanian oil seems to be flowing fairly freely through 56 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 6: the Straight of Hooe moves, but it wants to stop 57 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 6: tankers flowing but from the Persian Gulf, and it seems 58 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 6: with these attacks on himong from neighbours as that stand 59 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 6: outside the Persian Gulf. 60 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 3: Bloomberg's Well Kennedy reports, Energy Secretary Chris Wright has said 61 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 3: the US Navy could begin escorting tankers through the strait 62 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 3: by the end of the month. The International Energy Agency 63 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 3: has called this war the biggest disruption to the oil 64 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 3: market in history. 65 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 2: Well, Nathan, how much of an impact will these higher 66 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 2: oil prices have on the consumer? We ask Bloomberg Economics 67 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: chief US economist and A. 68 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: Wong. 69 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 7: If oil stays above one hundred dollars per barrow, we 70 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 7: estimate that that will cost the average American household and 71 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 7: extra nineteen hundred dollars this year. And that's nineteen hundred 72 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 7: dollars less to spend on everything else other than gasoline. 73 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: Bloomberg Economics Chief US economists and A. Wong says the 74 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: lower sixty percent of households by income spend a bigger 75 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: share on gasoline, so the increase would hit them more 76 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: than higher income households and Karen. 77 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 3: President Trump is renewing his call for the Fed to 78 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 3: cut rates as the world economy faces shock waves from 79 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 3: the War with Iron. In a social media post, the 80 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 3: President wrote, quote, where is the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome 81 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 3: too late Powell today. He went on to write, he 82 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 3: should be dropping interest rates immediately, not waiting for the 83 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 3: next meeting. For now, traders have sharply reduced bets for 84 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 3: an interest rate cut this year. 85 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 2: Well, Nathan.

The detainees to be released have all served 178 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 13: a significant portion of their sentences and have maintained good 179 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 13: behavior in prison. The lapse in funding for homeland security 180 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 13: means TSA agents have now been working without pay for 181 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 13: nearly a month. At Sea Tac Airport, a temporary food 182 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 13: pantry has opened up for unpaid federal employees, where spokesman 183 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 13: Perry Cooper says, those workers can pick up whatever they. 184 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 3: Need, nonperishable items, self storable food, hygiene products, those kinds 185 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 3: of things, infant supplies that some of these folks just 186 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 3: don't have the ability to get because they're not getting paychecks. 187 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 13: Similar food banks being set up at the airports across 188 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 13: the country. In Congress, Democrats say they are willing to 189 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 13: fund many of the agencies housed under DHS, including the TSA, 190 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 13: but will not vote to fund ICE without significant reforms 191 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 13: to their operations. Republicans, meanwhile, accused Democrats are rebuffing efforts 192 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 13: to negotiate. NASA cleared its Moon rocket for a launch 193 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 13: next month with four astronauts after completing the latest round 194 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 13: of repairs. It will mark humanity's first trip to the 195 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 13: Moon in more than fifty years. NASA Acting Associate Administrator 196 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 13: Lori Glaze. 197 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 2: It's a test flight and it is not without risk, 198 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: but our team and our hardware are ready. 199 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 13: NASA's Lori Glaze said. The space agency is aiming for 200 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 13: an April first launch date.

He breaks the record that wil Chamberlain held 208 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 14: since the early nineteen sixties. Kyler Murray wants the first 209 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 14: overall pick of the draft.

Now into day fourteen of 219 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 3: the Iran War, there is little sign of let up 220 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 3: on either side. President Trump says he is determined to 221 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 3: finish the job against Tehran. 222 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 5: We're doing what has to be done, should have been 223 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 5: done during a forty seven year period, could have been 224 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 5: done by a lot of different people that chose not 225 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 5: to do it. 226 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 3: That was President Trump at the White House last night. 227 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,719 Speaker 3: This morning, we had to Dubai to bring in Bloomberg's 228 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 3: Paul Wallace, our managing editor for Middle East and Africa 229 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 3: Economic and Government News. Paul, good morning. What is the latest. 230 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,719 Speaker 3: We've heard reports of massive explosions this morning in Tehran. 231 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 10: Hi, and good morning. Yes, so the more Israeli strikes 232 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 10: on Tehran today Israel announced that we presume the US 233 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 10: is also continuing it strikes across western parts of the 234 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 10: country as well. And yes, there appears to be no 235 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 10: real let up from Iran either. It's still it's maintaining 236 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 10: a very defiant tone. 237 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 5: We heard. 238 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 10: We had a statement from the new Supreme Leader yesterday, 239 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 10: the first one since he got elected right at the 240 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 10: beginning of this week, and he said that the straight 241 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 10: of wo should remain close and essentially said this war 242 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 10: will continue. So neither the Israelis, nor the Americans, nor 243 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 10: the Iranians seem in any mood to stop fighting at 244 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 10: the moment. 245 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 3: We also heard from that statement from the Supreme Leader 246 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 3: that Iran could try to open up new fronts if 247 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 3: the fighting continues. Does Iran have the capacity to do that? 248 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 10: Well, that was a significant statement and it's hard to tell. 249 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 10: I mean, it is possible that Iran tries to get 250 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 10: what's essentially the last of its proxies, the Houthis that 251 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 10: are based in Yemen, to start fighting again and essentially 252 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 10: to enter this war. So the Houthis have territory in 253 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 10: the Southern Red Sea. When the war in Guarza erupted 254 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 10: after the October seventh attacks by Hamas on Israel, the 255 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 10: Houthis became pretty crucial. They essentially closed the Southern Red 256 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 10: Sea to Western shipping because of their drone and missile 257 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 10: attacks on vessels going through that waterway. They've been quiet 258 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,719 Speaker 10: or quiet ish since this war on Iran erupted. They 259 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 10: haven't said much beyond sort of hinting that they're ready 260 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 10: to go if they need to. If they do decide 261 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 10: to attack ships again, that would be a big blow 262 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 10: to the West, to the Americans. They have territory that's 263 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 10: quite close to the Saudi Arabian port of Yamboo. Yamboo 264 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 10: has become extra important because it is the outlet for 265 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 10: that big East West pipeline that the Saudis have, so 266 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 10: they can't export oil from their eastern fields through the 267 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 10: straits up for Moose, so they're now using Yamboo in 268 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 10: a big way. If the Huthies enter the Fray, and 269 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 10: especially if they decide to either target Yambuo or ships 270 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 10: going there, that is going to be a big problem 271 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 10: and will cause more crisis in the oil market. 272 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 273 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 2: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 274 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 3: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 275 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 3: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 276 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 277 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 2: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 278 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 2: in New York, Bloomberg in ninety nine to one in Washington, 279 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 2: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on Serious 280 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 2: Channel one twenty one. 281 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 3: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 282 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,479 Speaker 3: now with Apple CarPlay and Android Atto interfaces. 283 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 2: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
