1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Dan Schwartzman. According to reports, both Israel and Saudi Arabia

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: lobbied for President Trump to launch shrikes against Iran. That's

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: according to The Washington Post. Despite Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: bin Salman publicly calling for diplomatic solution to the Iran

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: US crisis, the Prince reportedly made multiple phone calls to

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: Trump over the past month advocating for an attack. Just recently,

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: the Saudis had said that their airspace or territory would

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: not be used in an attack on Iran after the

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: Prince spoke with Iran's president. Iranian state media confirming that

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: Supreme Leader Iantola Ali Kamani was killed in Israeli and

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: US air strikes hours after President Trump announced on social

13
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: media that Kamani was dead. Israel also says key military

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: commanders were also killed, including Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: Mohammed Pakpor. Former National Security advisor and Ambassador to the

16
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: United Nations John Bolton joined Bloomberg this weekend and gave

17
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: his thoughts on what Iran's new government may look like.

18
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: I think the most likely year term outcome of the

19
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: fall of the Iatolas and the Revolutionary Guard will be

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: a military government, a secular military government, not the Revolutionary Guard,

21
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: but the conventional military that will hopefully then allow the

22
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: Iranian people to have some kind of constitutional process to

23
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: decide on what they want their new government to look like.

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: That's former National Security advisor and Ambassador to the United

25
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: Nations John Bolton earlier on Bloomberg this weekend. President Trump

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: also saying on truth Social that quote heavy and pinpoint bombing, however,

27
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: will continue uninterrupted throughout the week or as long as necessary.

28
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: Iranian media has reported that two hundred and one people

29
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: have been killed were close to seven hundred and fifty wounded. Meanwhile,

30
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: Iran retaliating throughout the day, firing ballistic missiles across the

31
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: Mideast to US targets in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar,

32
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: and Kuwait, while also firing a Braja drones and missiles

33
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: at Israel. There has been mixed reaction across the globe,

34
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: with Canada and Australia expressing support for the attack, while

35
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: Russia called the strikes unprovoked areas, where China saying it's

36
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: highly concerned while calling for a stop to the assault.

37
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: UK Prime Minister Kure Starmer wants to see the violence end.

38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: It is vital that we prevent further escalation and return

39
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: to a diplomatic process. We want to see peace and

40
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 3: security and the protection of civilian life. Iran can end

41
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: this now. They should refrain from further strikes, give up

42
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 3: their weapons programs and cease the appalling violence and repression

43
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 3: against the Iranian people.

44
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: That's British Prime Minister Kure Starmer. Oil shipping has largely

45
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: been paused in the Strait of Hormuz after the US

46
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: Israeli assault on Iran. Iranian media says the waterway is

47
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: quote practically closed. Ships have reported hearing a radio broadcast

48
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: purported to come from the Iranian Navy that announces that

49
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: transit through the waterway has been banned. Several tankers did

50
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: turn around earlier in the day. While OPEC plus members

51
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: are set to meet Sunday to discuss the option of

52
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: a larger oil supply increase. They'd agreed to keep supply

53
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: steady through March after a short supply freeze, but the

54
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: attacks on Iran can now escalate production increases. Chief Emerging

55
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: Markets economists for Bloomberg Za Dode joined Bloomberg's this weekend

56
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: and discuss possible impacts to the oil market.

57
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 4: So, I think on the psychologetic markets are sort of

58
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 4: getting used to the stupid class collision in the Middle East.

59
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 4: The key question here is whether we're going to get

60
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 4: physical disruption, and this is another test, is probably the

61
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 4: most serious serious test in the last two and a

62
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 4: half years.

63
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: That's chief Emerging market's economists for Bloomberg z Dode. That

64
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: timing of the US and Israeli strikes on Iran comes

65
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: at a holy time for the religious community throughout the

66
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: Middle East. We get more on that from Bloomberg's Dan Williams.

67
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 5: For many Muslims, this attack will be seen as a

68
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 5: huge affront, not just because of the targets and the

69
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 5: potential killing of the very top of the top of

70
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 5: the Iranian echelon, also because it took place during the

71
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 5: holy month of Ramadan, which is being marked with fasting

72
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 5: and prayer by Muslims across the region. For Jews, today's

73
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 5: the Jewish Sabbath, and it's ten days away from the

74
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 5: festival of Purum, which historically has marked major turnarounds for

75
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 5: the Jewish people.

76
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: That's Bloomberg's Dan Williams. The US reportedly used anthropics claud

77
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: Ai tool in its attacks on Iran, just hours after

78
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: the Trump administration announced that the federal government would end

79
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: its relationship with Anthropic after the company attempted to put

80
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: limits on the use of its clawed tool. That's according

81
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: to the Wall Street Journal, US Central Command is said

82
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: to have used the tool for target identification, as well

83
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: as intelligence assessments and simulated battle scenarios with Anthropic. Now

84
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: on the ounce of the Trump administration, open Ai is

85
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: defending its deal with the Pentagon. We get details from

86
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's eg Kalegi.

87
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 6: OpenAI has agreed to deploy its own artificial intelligence models

88
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 6: within the Defense Department's classified network after rival Anthropics saw

89
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 6: its relationship with the Pentagon implode over surveillance and autonomous

90
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 6: weapons concerns. Open Ai chief executive officer Sam Altman said

91
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 6: late Friday that he reached an agreement with the Department

92
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 6: that reflects the firm's principles that prohibit domestic mass surveillance

93
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 6: and require human responsibility for the use of force, including

94
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 6: for autonomous weapons systems. At Klengy Bloomberg Radio.
