Trump Renews Iran Deal Claims; Knicks Drop Game 3 at MSG | Bloomberg Daybreak: US Edition
Bloomberg Daybreak: US Edition
· · 20 min
Summary
President Trump said negotiations with Iran are still moving and suggested the outline of an interim deal could emerge within one or two days, even after a new flare-up in fighting between Israel and Iran. Bloomberg’s Middle East coverage described the ceasefire as fragile, with both sides trading strikes, threats of renewed attacks, and wider regional risks tied to Hezbollah and the Houthis. Former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said restoring freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz would require an international effort and could be costly to hold open.
In U.S. politics, California’s governor’s race appears headed for a November runoff between Xavier Becerra and Steve Hilton, with Becerra leading the primary and Hilton in second, according to Decision Desk HQ. The segment also noted that Trump repeated claims the state’s mail-in voting system is rigged as late ballots continue to be counted.
The sports focus was the Knicks’ 115-111 loss to the Spurs at Madison Square Garden, ending New York’s long home winning streak and giving San Antonio a 2-1 series lead. The show also touched on market and corporate news, including OpenAI’s confidential IPO filing, strong demand for SpaceX’s planned listing, and GSK’s $10.6 billion deal to buy NewVector.
Key takeaways
- Trump said an Iran deal could be outlined in one or two days, but Bloomberg’s reporting framed the ceasefire as fragile and still vulnerable to renewed strikes.
- Lloyd Austin argued that reopening and securing the Strait of Hormuz would need an international effort and could be costly for the U.S. Navy alone.
- Decision Desk HQ projects Xavier Becerra and Steve Hilton will advance to a California governor runoff, with Becerra at 27.7% and Hilton at 25.1%.
- The Knicks’ 115-111 loss to the Spurs ended a 13-game run and put San Antonio up 2-1 in the Finals.
- OpenAI filed confidentially for an IPO, while SpaceX’s offering was described as heavily oversubscribed and controversial among investors.

How the episode opens
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 from the Middle East. Iran and Israel have agreed to stop fighting after a flare up of missile attacks over the weekend. And now, President Trump says peace talks are back on track. We have uh ongoing negotiations in Iran and with Iran that that hasn't stopped and we could have at least an idea by one or two days from now.
President Trump spoke with reporters in New York. We get more from Bloomberg Zabir Abu Omar in Dubai.
He said that we could see a deal within a day or two. He said that Prime Minister Netanyahu in Israel had the right to retaliate against Iran's attacks. But what we've seen unfold over yesterday was some escalation.
I mean, I would say the most serious escalation since the ceasefire was reached in the beginning of April, especially that Israel had hit Iran. Some plants there, a prochemical plant where Iranian officials had to evacuate personnel. It had some cities in central Thran and also western Thran, leading Iran to also hit northern parts of Israel.
And Bloomberg Zabir Abu Omar reports both Israel and Iran have threatened to attack again if either side resumes strikes. Meanwhile, a US Army Apache helicopter went down near the straight of Hormuz overnight, though it's not clear if it was shot down or suffered mechanical problems. President Trump says the pilots are fine and a report will be released on the crash later today.
Well, Nathan, former defense secretary Lloyd Austin is weighing in on the war with Iran. The Pentagon chief under former President Joe Biden says restoring freedom of navigation through the Straight of Hormuz is key.
