The Choices Facing Israel, Iran and the US
Conflict between Iran and Israel has been simmering for decades — but escalated rapidly in the last few days after Israel bombed key nuclear facilities in Iran. As world leaders convene for the G-7 in Canada this week — many are concerned about the prospect of continued fighting and a broader regional conflict. Today on the Big Take podcast, Golnar Motevalli, who covers Iran for Bloomberg, joins host Sarah Holder to discuss the on-the-ground reality in both countries, the choices facing their heads of state and what other world leaders might do to encourage a deescalation.

Allegra Stratton: Eyes on the Oil Price
This latest iteration of the Middle East crisis is both familiar and unfamiliar. We're all back obsessing about the oil price, yet we also know from the last few years that that same oil price has appeared somewhat impervious — oblivious? — to regional turmoil. After the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel we were braced for a spike in energy costs. It never came, in part because there is so much more American capacity available now compared to the oil shock of the 1970s. Here Golnar Motevalli and Dina Esfandiary also explain why Iran is unlikely to take the most dramatic route of striking energy infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States.

Israel Preparing Strike on Iran's Nuclear Facilities According to Report
Oil jumped following a CNN report that new US intelligence suggests Israel is preparing for a potential strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. Brent crude rose above $66 a barrel while West Texas Intermediate surged as much as 3.5% before paring gains. It wasn't clear that Israeli leaders have made a final decision on whether to carry out the strikes, CNN said, citing unidentified officials. Oil has been volatile since last week on mixed headlines about the fate of Iran-US nuclear talks, which could pave the way for more barrels to return to a market that's expected to be oversupplied later in the year. An attack by Israel would hinder any progress in those negotiations and add to unrest in the Middle East, which supplies about a third of the world's crude. Golnar Motevalli, who leads our coverage of Iran joined Stephen Carroll and Valerie Tytel on Bloomberg Radio to discuss. (Source: Bloomberg)
