The US launched a fresh wave of strikes against targets in Iran and the Islamic Republic said it retaliated, as the back-and-forth of fighting between the two escalated.

President Donald Trump said the US strikes were in retaliation for Iran trying to put mines in the Strait of Hormuz and for an earlier attack on a military base in Jordan. He warned of more attacks to come if Tehran responded.

Within hours, Iran said its forces had launched a “decisive operation” against US bases in the region, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the new fighting “only tightened the lock on the Strait of Hormuz,” IRIB reported.

US, Iran Escalate Attacks as Fighting Around Strait Heats Up

With the House of Representatives returning to Washington after August recess, the likelihood of a government shutdown -- only 20% in our view -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's Aug. 31 Washington Policy Pulse. The House will most likely embrace a Senate deal that extends the government funding until Dec. 11 before leaving town to further campaign ahead of the midterm elections. A potential vote on a separate measure on a Russian sanctions package will likely be pushed back until after the election.

We also discussed President Donald Trump's announcement of a deal in Venezuela to have the US take a stake in Venezuela's oil fields. Analysis from BI's energy team suggest that while Chevron may embrace the deal, ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil may be more hesitant. We also previewed a forthcoming meeting with energy executives at the White House on Sept. 2.

The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington DC.  

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration

Insight & analysis on the White House and Capitol Hill.

House members return to Capitol Hill after a monthlong break with a crowded docket and just 16 days in session to complete it before the November midterm elections.

A planned vote to avoid a fall government shutdown is atop their to-do list, and continued GOP hopes of a third party-line budget package loom over other legislative priorities lawmakers want to pass and campaign on in their districts.

House leaders have to contend with delays in progress due to the Senate being in recess until Sept. 14 and several high-profile legislative packages involving cryptocurrency and college sports stalled in that chamber.
