The Bloomberg News' "Big Take" podcast episode discusses the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, marked by direct attacks between the two countries after decades of proxy conflicts. Golnar Motevalli from Bloomberg provides insights into the surprise nature of the attacks, especially given ongoing nuclear negotiations between Iran and the U.S., and the potential motivations behind Israel's actions, including damaging Iran's nuclear capabilities and pushing for regime change. The conversation also covers the potential for the conflict to widen, the impact on oil markets, and the possibility of de-escalation through back-channel negotiations, while considering the role and influence of the United States in the situation.
