Introducing: Bloomberg This Weekend

The US and Israel began striking targets across Iran, with President Donald Trump urging Iranians to overthrow the government in a conflict that threatens to spiral across the oil-rich Middle East.   

“The hour for your freedom is at hand,” Trump said, addressing Iranians in a video posted on Truth Social on Saturday. “When we’re finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations.”   

The military campaign could be a defining moment for Trump, risking a drawn-out regional war that leads to a surge in energy prices and American casualties ahead of mid-term elections this year. Iran quickly responded by firing missiles on Israel and US bases around the region, and countries in the Persian Gulf closed their airspace.  

Israel’s military said the campaign would target “dozens of military targets,” and Iran media reported strikes on defensive and civilian sites, including more than 50 people dead in a strike on a school in Hormozgan, in the south of the country. Several large explosions were reported in the capital, Tehran.

Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

On today's podcast:

(1) Nvidia the dominant maker of artificial intelligence processors, failed to impress investors with its latest sales forecast, signaling that concerns about an overheated AI economy will continue to dog the company.

(2) President Donald Trump’s new tariff program will leave about €4.2 billion ($5 billion) of European Union exports facing levies above the 15% ceiling agreed in the EU-US trade accord.

(3) The UK’s top banks are resisting a regulatory initiative to boost lending by lowering their capital levels, people familiar with the matter said, casting doubt over an effort to boost growth.

(4) Cuban forces killed four people who had opened fire from a speedboat with Florida tags, an incident with the potential to escalate an already tense standoff with the US.

(5) The Trump administration imposed sanctions on more than 30 entities that support Iranian oil and weapons sales, ramping up pressure on Tehran amid nuclear talks and the looming threat of US airstrikes.

(6) President Donald Trump said this week the US would “easily” prevail in any military confrontation with Iran. Recent activity on the ground in the Islamic Republic, though, indicates any victory might be short-lived.
