Trump Strikes Iran’s Kharg Oil Hub; War Enters Third Week

Trump Strikes Iran’s Kharg Oil Hub; War Enters Third Week

The US struck military sites on Kharg Island, from which Iran exports almost all its oil, for the first time overnight, upping the ante in a Middle East war that’s raged for more than two weeks and shows little sign of easing.

President Donald Trump said military facilities on the Persian Gulf island had been “obliterated,” adding that he chose not to hit oil infrastructure “for reasons of decency.” He threatened to do just that should Iran “do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz.”

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

- Philip Crowther, Associated Press International Correspondent, Dan Williams, Bloomberg News Jerusalem Reporter, and Bloomberg White House Reporter Jeff Mason on the war's impact on the economy and oil production.

- Former US Diplomat to Syria, Colonel Joel Rayburn, on the United States' military operation in Iran and how it compared to former administrations.

- Trane Technologies CEO Dave Regnery, on the company's apprenticeship program and skills-based hiring.

Plus, David, Christina, and Lisa Mateo play Pointed: The News Quiz for Risk Takers.
