Hello, I'm Stephen Carroll. I'm in Brussels, where many of Europe's biggest decisions get made.
And I'm Caroline Hepke in London. We're the hosts of the Bloomberg Daybreak Europe podcast.
We're up early every weekday, keeping an eye on what's happening across Europe and around the world.
We do it early so the news is fresh, not recycled, and so you know what actually matters as the day gets going.
From Brussels, I'm following the politics, policy and the people shaping the European Union right now.
And from London, I'm looking at what all that means for markets, money and the wider economy.
We've got reporters across Europe and around the globe feeding in as stories break.
So whether it's geopolitics, energy, tech or markets, you're hearing it while it happens.
It's smart, calm and to the point.
And it fits into your morning.
You can find new episodes of the Bloomberg Daybreak Europe podcast by 7am in Dublin or 8am in Brussels, Berlin and Paris on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Monica Ricks. Iran has begun 40 days of mourning now following the death of its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and has formed a council to govern and pick a new leader. Jomana Bersetchi covers the Middle East for Bloomberg and gave us some insight on who could succeed him.
Many different names are being thrown out there. Unclear at this point who it's going to be. Some of the names include his son, so Mujtaba Khomeini, some of his close aides, Ali Larijani, Sadiq Larijani. And then there's also the possibility of the grandson of the founder of the Islamic Republic. And his name is Rohallah Khomeini as well. But at this point, we don't really know. So in the interim, this temporary leadership council is going to take over.
Bloomberg's Jomana Bersetchi on Bloomberg this weekend. You can hear more of that show now till 10 a.m. Eastern. Iran has vowed retaliation for U.S. and Israeli strikes, but President Trump did warn Iran not to do that on true social, saying if they do, we'll hit them with a force that has never been seen before. This comes as Iran fires missiles on parts of Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain and Israel for a second day. Bloomberg's Israel Bureau Chief Ethan Bronner is in Tel Aviv now and says he's been forced to take shelter in a bunker at home at least once an hour.
It's designed for this. But I mean, many, many people in Israel don't have one in their own apartment and they're forced into public shelters. So it's not fun at all. But I think on the other hand, you know, people in Israel have been talking for so long about the need to eliminate people the iranian regime because iran does say death to israel it does fund and arm militias around the region it really is an enemy in a genuine sense that people i think have a tolerance uh which is going to go on for a while we'll see for how long
Bloomberg's Ethan Bronner in Tel Aviv this morning. Nine people were also killed in Pakistan today after storming the gates of the U.S. consulate. Authorities there have said others were seriously injured when police intervened, so that number could rise. Meantime, celebrations in the streets of Tehran following the death of Iran's supreme leader. Protesters also hit the streets in major U.S. cities yesterday, including L.A., Chicago, and New York. But demonstrators in Times Square condemned the attacks.
We need a regime change here in this country. That's what the signs say. We need a regime change.
Those protests remained peaceful. No arrests were made. Oman says a small oil tanker was targeted off its coast in the Arabian Sea, the first sign of an attack on shipping near the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing war in the Middle East. Oman's maritime security posting on X that the tanker was targeted just north of Kasab Port, forcing a 20-person crew to evacuate. Four people were injured there. and it's caused oil traffic now to plummet in the Gulf. We get more on that from Bloomberg's Ed Kalecki.
Oil shipping has largely paused in the Strait of Hormuz that links the oil-rich Persian Gulf to the open seas after the U.S.
