Episode Iran Tensions Flare Up on New US Strikes on Iran
Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
Stocks dropped as Middle East tensions flared up with new US attacks on Iran, weighing on markets already grappling with a selloff in richly valued tech stocks. Oil climbed. The latest US strikes have injected more volatility into global financial markets and threaten to further crimp oil supplies. We speak to Mark Cudmore, Global Leader of the Markets Live Team at Bloomberg News.
Plus - The American military launched strikes against "multiple" targets in Iran for the second straight day after President Donald Trump accused the country of dragging out talks on an interim peace deal. US Central Command said on X that it had begun "additional self-defense strikes" at 5:15 p.m. New York time on Wednesday. About four hours later, in another post, Centcom declared the operation complete and that military surveillance systems, air defense sites and communication systems were the targets. Bloomberg TV hosts Haidi Stroud-Watts and Shery Ahn spoke to Lanhee Chen, Fellow in American Public Policy Studies at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.
