Iran Picks New Supreme Leader, War Enters Ninth Day

Iran Picks New Supreme Leader, War Enters Ninth Day

Iran picked a new supreme leader and kept up attacks on the ninth day of the war in the Middle East, hitting a water plant in Bahrain, while Israel struck fuel depots in Tehran and threatened the Islamic Republic’s power grid. Tehran didn’t disclose the identity of the new leader.

The chaos that has gripped the oil market looks set to deepen, with more production getting cut as the war in Iran effectively shuts the Strait of Hormuz, and the US considers widening its range of targets in the country.

On today's show, Bloomberg This Weekend hosts David Gura and Christina Ruffini speak with:

- Daniel Yergin, Vice Chairman at S&P Global, on oil prices nearing a $100-a-barrel threshold.

- Former US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides, on the relationship between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, and Israel's role in the Iran conflict.

- Republican Senator Mike Rounds of South Dakota, on why the Trump Administration may have chosen to pursue a war with Iran.

- Team USA Olympic Bobsledders Kaillie Humphries and Elana Meyers Taylor, on what it means to be both a mother and a gold medalist.
