More from Bloomberg Day Break coming up 175 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 2: after this. Coast to coast. 176 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 8: I'm Bloomberg Radio nationwide on Sirius XM and around the 177 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 8: world on Bloomberg dot Com and the Bloomberg Business app. 178 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 4: This is Bloomberg. 179 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 2: Daybreak, and we're. 180 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 3: Told talks between the US and Iran over our permanent 181 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 3: peaceton continue despite two days of clashes that threaten to 182 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 3: shatter an already fragile ceasefire. Sources are telling Bloomberg the 183 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 3: US is still committed to finding a diplomatic solution, and 184 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 3: for more. We're joined by Patrick Sikes, Middle East Breaking 185 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 3: News editor for Bloomberg News. Patrick, good morning, So what 186 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 3: can you tell us about the talks that are being held. 187 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 11: Yeah, that these technical talks continue. I think most likely 188 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 11: the substantive part of those will be focused on the 189 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 11: Strait of hor Mooz, obviously wherever the past few days 190 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 11: we've seen these repeated clashes, despite ostensibly the status of 191 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 11: the ceasefire remaining in effect. Of course, we did have 192 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 11: that comment from Trump the other day saying that to 193 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 11: him it was dead, but quickly followed with the caveat 194 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 11: that those talks were continue. So a strange kind of 195 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 11: liminal phase for now. It does seem that the active 196 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 11: hostilities have eased again, and with that some trickles through 197 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 11: the strait the waterway, but the still lots of hurdles 198 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 11: ahead of the diplomacy. 199 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 3: So we are seeing a little bit of movement. Then 200 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 3: through the strait of horror moves we are seeing Naimke 201 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 3: scrude oil down a bit this morning. So is there 202 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 3: some hope that traffic is moving again or will at 203 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 3: least in the near term. 204 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 11: Exactly in the near term, you know, short of another 205 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 11: flaring up with those tensions and more strikes, I think 206 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 11: we're likely to see some owner's crews with a higher 207 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 11: risk appetite be willing to take the risks. They've also 208 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 11: got to decide do they take the northern route along 209 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:51,599 Speaker 11: the Iranian coast in cooperation with the Iranian authorities, or 210 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 11: do they defy that order from the Iranians and try 211 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 11: to take the southern route and go dark and avoid detection. 212 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 11: So two quite different ways to go about it. In general, 213 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,599 Speaker 11: the hostilities are going to cut the willingness to do 214 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 11: that and maybe encourage those who feel they have to 215 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 11: go to do so via that more discreete southern route, 216 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 11: But it is still going to be a cap on traffic. 217 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 3: Where are the mediators and all this or cutter and 218 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 3: Pakistan trying to keep this latest tid for tad fighting 219 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 3: from really erupting into something bigger. 220 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 11: Yeah, the Pakistanis have been the main mediators throughout. They 221 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 11: of course hosted the main face to face round of 222 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 11: talks that we had since the start of the war, 223 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 11: and then the Qataris came on board kind of later 224 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 11: in the process and have remained involved. They became kind 225 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 11: of implicated in the latest hostilities when some of their 226 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 11: LNG ships came under attack. That mattered in particular, not 227 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 11: just because of their role as mediators, but also because 228 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 11: they are home to this massive LNG liquefied natural gas 229 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 11: plant and those attacks meant that the Qataris decided to 230 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 11: slow down the restart of that plant after it had 231 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 11: been damaged in the war. So, you know, the energy 232 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 11: side of it impacting the market is dovetailing directly with 233 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 11: the diplomacy at this stage. 234 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 3: And what about Israel? Has President Trump been in contact 235 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 3: with Netnyahu at all and as he weighed in on 236 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 3: the latest fighting. 237 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 11: Yeah, there are course closely in contact. But I think 238 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 11: what this all phase of the conflict has shown is 239 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 11: that those two allies, although they began the war very 240 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 11: much in lockstep with one another, as it went on, 241 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 11: their stated goals diverged, Israel taking a harder line approach, 242 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 11: you know, keen to continue the war and see certainly 243 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 11: a resolution to the status of the nuclear stockpile and 244 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 11: the US seeming to be contented in the short term 245 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 11: at least to kind of return to the pre war 246 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 11: status quo, for example, in the straight at fore moves 247 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 11: and at least just get the economy and energy flows 248 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 11: moving again as a basis to then lay the groundwork 249 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 11: for further talks on those other issues like nuclear which 250 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 11: will be just as thorny as the horn moves one 251 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 11: that they're struggling with right now. 252 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 253 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 3: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 254 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 255 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 256 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 257 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 258 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 259 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 2: Bloomberg ninety two to nine in Boston, and nationwide on 260 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 2: serious XM Channel one twenty one.
