Two Week Iran Strike Deadline; Trump Can Continue National Guard in LA

Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News.
Good morning.
I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the
stories we're following today.
Karen, we begin with the latest developments involving Iran. The
White House says President Trump will make a decision on
whether to strike the country within the next two weeks.
The President is scheduled to attend a national security meeting
in the Oval Office later today. White House Press Secretary
Caroline Levitt spoke with reporters yesterday.
I have a message directly from the President and I quote,
based on the fact that there's a substantial chance of
negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran
in the near future. I will make my decision whether
or not to go within the next two weeks.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Levit says the President's goal
of halting Iran's richmond of uranium and preventing the country
from obtaining nuclear weapons remains intact, though she says if
there's a chance for diplomb, I mus see the President
is always going to grab it.
Meanwhile, Nathan, the fighting continues the Israel Defense Forces as
it completed a series of strikes into Iran, hitting dozens
of targets. A missile from Iran hit a Israeli hospital
on Thursday for the first time since the war began.
Iran's foreign minister is doing Geneva for talks of the
European foreign ministers today, and we get more with Bloomberg's
Oliver Krook.
What the sort of goal of this meeting is is
to try to begin to establish kind of a framework
for a day after if there is a ceasefire, something
you can go to sort of from Iran and the
rest of the world to say, listen, these are going
to be the monitoring arrangements that Iran has agreed to,
basically unrestricted access to making sure that Iran is not
developing a nuclear site, potentially some restrictions and some observations
about sort of cutting back the ballistic missile program, those
sorts of things. But again I think that one needs
to keep sort of really sort of low expectations here
because we know the world of Trump, and we know
the world of Trump is one in which the Europeans
don't have a huge amount of sway in terms of diplomacy.
If there's a real question about whether or not you know,
anything that they agreed to or anything that they can
come up with. Does Trump really want to put his
name on something that somebody else has come up with?
And, as Bloomberg's Oliver Kruik reporting, Around's foreign minister told
State TV this morning that Iran does not want to
negotiate with the US if Israel continues to strike the country.
The Karen cybersecurity experts in Israel say Iran is now
tapping into private security cameras to gather real time intelligence.
As Bloomberg's U and Pots reports, the revelation exposes a
recurring problem with these devices, one that's emerged in other
global conflicts.
Earlier this week, a former Israeli cybersecurity official issued a
stark message on public radio, turn off your home surveillance
cameras or change the password immediately. The warning was later
backed by Israel's National cyber Director, which confirmed to Bloomberg
that Internet connected cameras are increasingly being targeted as part
of Iran's war planning. Similar tactics were employed by Russia
following its invasion of Ukraine, and our researchers have been
sound in the alarm about vulnerabilities in security cameras for
over a decade. There is now increasing evidence that the
countries at war these systems are being exploited. As a
critical week point in London, i'm unepot Sploomberg radio.
All right you and thank you mean mohile. The war
in Ukraine goes on. Overnight, Russia unleashed a wave of
drones and decoys the cities of Odessa and Kharkiv. Ukraine's
air force has sixteen drones managed to evade its air defenses.
At least one person was killed and fourteen heard. In Odessa,
the drones there damaged several apartment buildings and the city's
central rail station. At least four others sought medical help
in Kharkiv and.
Back here in the US, Karen the White House has
scored a legal victory over its deployment of National Guard
troops in Los Angeles. A three judge panel has ruled
the Trump administration can continue using the Guard to respond
to anti deportation protests. Laurie Levinson is a former federal
prosecutor and a professor at Loyal Law School.
In Laottom line is that this panel of judges believe
that there was enough interference, enough violence going on in
Los Angeles that the President, in his broad discretion, had
the power to call out the National Guard because that's
what the statute allows.
Loyal law professor Lorie Levinson notes that the California could
still appeal to the full Federal Appeals Court or the
Supreme Court. The lower court judge who ordered the federal
government to return control of the Guard to California is
also holding a hearing today, Nathan.
As immigration raids continue, they're starting to have a noticeable
impact on workforces across the country. On Bloomberg's Monica Rex.
Reports, the downtown La Fashion district where the ice raids started,
is emptied out. Texas dairy farmers say workers aren't showing
up to milk cows, and the deputy mayor in Ventura,
California says Latino day laborers seem to have disappeared from
his closest home depot. Last month, the US workforce shrank
in large part because of a decline in foreign born workers.
California alons to lose two hundred and seventy five billion
dollars in economic output from the immigration crackdown. Monica Rix
Bloomberg Radio.
Okay, Monica, thank you, turning to the markets now. Futures
are lower as we close out the holiday interrupted trading week. Today,
investors brace for six and a half trillion dollars of
notional US options expiring, and that could lead stocks to
swing more wildly than the subdued changes seen in recent week.
Every quarter, a cluster of different exchange traded derivatives contracts
all terminate on the same day, leading to what market
watchers sometimes call a triple witching event. It's not expected
to add additional volatility today itself, but it could open
a path to more sudden stock market moves next week.
Nathan SoftBank may be making a trillion dollar AI play
in the US. Bloomberg News has learned soft Bank founder
Massa Yoshi's son is seeking to team up with Taiwan
Semiconductor to build a trillion dollar industrial complex in Arizona
to build robots and artificial intelligence. The project's feasibility depends
on some poor from the Trump administration and state officials,
and Sun is also exploring partnerships with other tech companies,
including Samsung Electronics, and considering project financing models to raise funding.
Time off for a look at some of the other
stories making news in New York and around the world.
And for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr.
Michael, good morning, Good morning, Karen. Summer It's coming in.
Hot Summer officially starts later today and high heat is

nearby when it happened.
I was there, just under two miles away. At first
I saw it, and I really couldn't believe what was
happening in my own eyes. It was almost like an
out of body experience.

Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. Within the next two weeks,
that's when the White House says President Donald Trump will
decide whether to join Israel and strikes against Iron Spokeswoman
Caroline levin It says, if there's a chance at diplomacy,
the president will always grab it. But she says there
is one thing the world can agree on.
Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon. This is something that
pretty much all of humanity except for the Iranian terrorist
regime themselves, agree upon.
That was White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt announcing the
two week deadline. For more. We are joined by Bloomberg
News Senior editor Bill Ferries. Bill, as you know, President
Trump has said things could come within two weeks many
times during both his presidencies. How to take this latest signal?
Good morning, Good morning.
Well, I wouldn't mark an X on your calendar for
two weeks from today, and think that that's necessarily some
sort of urgent deadline. What I think the President's decision
does is open the door to continuing diplomacy, to more
diplomacy both between the US and Iran, but also between
Iran and Europeans and of course with Israel. So it
gives some time for this back and forth between Iran
and Israel to play out, a little bit, time for
de escalation. And you know, we've we know the president
has really struggled over this decision, that his Maga base
is really torn over it. So it allows a little
bit of a reprieve from that political pressure he was
facing from his own party as well.
At the same time, Bill we heard from Iran's foreign
minister just this morning saying that Iran can't negotiate with
the US while Israel is continuing attacks. Where does that leave.
Things, Well, the Iranians have they are going to be
meeting with some of the European foreign ministers, including from
the UK, of France and Germany. So there's certainly a
chance for the US to get messages in and to
receive messages from Iran through that way.
And I think.
Iran is trying to you know, trying to keep a
little bit of daylight between Israel and the United States
on this issue. Like I said, it has been a
tough decision for President Trump to make. Despite the US
history of supporting Israel, it's not clear that the Trump
administration wants to go as far as perhaps Israel is
interested in seeing it go.
How far could Israel go? I mean, there's been ongoing
attacks on nuclear facilities as well as ballistic missile sites.
If Israel is aiming to completely destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities,
can it do it without the US?
Well, some of those facilities, particularly the Fordau facility, is
buried deep in a mountain. It's not believed that, you know,
constant bombing or missiles from Israel will really do the trick.
The US is the only country that has this bunker
buster bomb that it could deploy if it were interested
in getting engaged. It's not even totally clear that that
would do the trick. I mean this, these are very
well fortified facilities. But it certainly has the best chance.
And that's really why Israel wants the US to engage
in this.
All right, And while the President is still weighing this
decision on getting the military more involved in Iran. He's
gotten a legal victory when it comes to deploying the
National Guard in Los Angeles. What's the latest here, Yeah.
That's right.
A three judge panel in San Francisco, a federal appeals panel,
ruled that the Trump administration can keep using those California
National Guard troops to respond to the protests in Los Angeles.
There's been a big fight over this, with the California
governor and the State of California basically arguing that Trump
did not have the legal authority to deploy those forces
the way they were called up. For now, at least,
it looks like those forces will remain under federal control
in the streets. They're largely protecting federal buildings. They haven't
been involved really closely with the area that the protests
were centered on. But I think it's part of a
bigger picture here of the Trump administration wanting to keep
this power in reserve if it needs to do this
elsewhere in California or elsewhere in the country.
And in our last thirty seconds, this isn't the end
of the case, right, There's still a chance for appeal
by California.
Absolutely, California will very likely appeal. Actually, the appeals court
that made this decision, it was just a three judge panel.
The broader court as a whole could still take it up.
And you know, this is another one of the many,
many court cases in this administration that could eventually end
up at the Supreme Court.
