Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
1) Iran said there had been no recent progress in talks with the US over an interim peace deal, while fighting persisted in Lebanon despite Washington’s declaration of a ceasefire between Israel and the country.Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said late Wednesday that “no tangible progress has been achieved in the negotiation process” with the US, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
2) US forces intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles and drones aimed at neighboring Middle East countries and struck a command center in Iran in response. The exchange followed days of Israeli military escalation against Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon, prompting a phone call between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Tensions remain high after the US attacked Iranian radar and command-and-control sites, with Iran trying to target an air base in retaliation and the US and Israel having different ideas about what an end to the war should look like.
3) The New York Knicks' winning streak lives on, and they struck first in the NBA Finals.Jalen Brunson scored 30 points, Karl-Anthony Towns finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds, and the Knicks erased a 14-point second-half deficit to beat the San Antonio Spurs 105-95 in Game 1 of the finals on Wednesday night.

Karen, we begin with the latest from the Middle East. Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a cease fire if Hezbola stops fighting. That has emerged as a key condition for Iran, and it's nearly two months truce with the US. Israel's US ambassador Leechiel Leiter says, this is an unprecedented agreement.

Iran's foreign minister Abbas Arakchi says meanwhile, there's been no recent progress in peace deal talks with the US. That's according to a report from Iran's semi official Cosdam News agency.

Speaker 9

Howson Senate have both passed resolutions on the war in Iran with majorities that say the President needs to rethink his policy on Iran and needs to come to Congress.

Speaker 2

In Los Angeles Nathan, where voters also wih in on mayor, early results suggested a runoff between Democratic incumbent Karen Bass and reality TV star Spencer Pratt, a registered Republican party. His heavy reliance sun mail in ballots means a final result could be days away. According to the Associated Press, with sixty three percent of the votes counted, Bass holds the lead with roughly thirty five percent of votes, followed by Pratt with about thirty percent and city council member

Nitty ah Raman at twenty two percent. If no candidate surpasses fifty percent of the vote, the top two finishers will advance to a runoff.

Speaker 2

Can you stay with us more from Bloomberg day Break coming up after this.

Speaker 3

Coast to coast on Bloomberg Radio nationwide on Serious Exam.

Speaker 5

And around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the Bloomberg Business app.

Speaker 3

This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. Iron peace effort seemed to be running through Israel and Lebanon this morning. The US says both those countries have agreed to a ceasefire if Iron backed hes Bula stops fighting. But President Trump says anything can happen.

Speaker 8

And I'd say you that.

Speaker 4

Part of the world cease fires when you're shooting in a more moderate.

Speaker 3

Better I was President Trump speaking from the Oval Office. We're joined this morning for more by Mark Champion, who covers the Middle East for Bloomberg Opinion. Mark, great to speak with you once again. It is a pretty big if if Hesbola stops fighting, isn't it good morning?

Speaker 1

Good morning? Yes, absolutely. I mean this is in a sense, this is a it's a good uh, it's it's a good step, you know. So what you want in Lebanon is for uh, the Lebanese government to be making these kinds of decisions to be filling the vacuum as Hezbollah is removed, and so it's it's it's a good framework. But there's a huge question as to whether Hesbola would want to do that. You know, this war they were very much on the back foot before February when the

US and Israel attacked Iran. They have been badly damaged and they were looking quite weak politically within Lebanon. The war has actually you know, given them more strength. They've started using FPV drones that are creating problems for the Israeli military. So whether or whether they would want to kind of step back as a question whether the Iranian is going to press them to step back equally, a question. So we just have to wait and see.

Speaker 3

We've been watching headlines just this morning that fighting seems to be continuing in southern Lebanon between Israel and Hezbola as well.

Speaker 11

Well.

Speaker 3

How important is this for Iran when it comes to their peace talk track.

Speaker 2

With the US?

Speaker 7

Very very important.

Speaker 1

I mean, the Uranians have made clear throughout that they believe they're in a position where they can make demands, and one of the demand's key demands they have is that other theaters where their proxies are in conflict with Israel will be included in any peace deal. So, in other words, if they're going to agree to a peace deal, Israel will have to agree to, you know, cease fire

in Lebanon. They've been less you know, adamant about Gaza, but that they've also mentioned in Gaza at various times as another front where they want to see a ceasefire. So the question for the Uranians is how badly do they want to deal and how you know, willing are they to carry on the conflict with the US to key the home moves straight closed on their side and the US side, which hurts you, we're on you know, in order to get a kind of full cease fire in eleven on on terms that they want.
