News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Dan Schwartzman. The U.S. is deploying a massive force in the Middle East to put pressure on Iran with two aircraft carriers, including the world's largest, the Gerald R. Ford, hundreds of fighter jets and refueling tankers, giving President Trump the option for a major attack against the Islamic Republic. Trump says Iran cannot be allowed to go nuclear.
And we do have some work to do with Iran. They can't have a nuclear weapon. It's very simple. They can't have you can't have peace in the Middle East if they have a nuclear weapon. And they can't have a nuclear weapon, and they've been told that very strongly.
Meanwhile, oil is jumping on reports that the U.S. may be edging closer to war with Iran than many Americans might think. Bloomberg News senior editor Eric Wiener says threats against Iran creates uncertainty in the oil market.
There's this balance that you want to have between oil being too expensive and too cheap. And right now, we're kind of still in the middle. A strike on Iran would really destabilize that.
That's Bloomberg News Senior Editor Eric Wiener. West Texas Intermediary is currently hovering at around $66.60 a barrel. Meanwhile, President Trump's board of peace set up to secure an end to the war in Gaza met today for the first time in Washington. Trump says the board received roughly 17 billion dollars in pledges toward humanitarian and reconstruction efforts in Gaza, with the U.S. contributing 10 billion. The president also announcing that more than a half dozen countries have promised personnel toward a stabilization force in the Palestinian enclave.
Albania, Kosovo, Kazakhstan have all committed troops and police to stabilize Gaza. Egypt and Jordan are likewise providing Very, very substantial help, troops, training, and support for a very trustworthy Palestinian police force.
Trump also says that son-in-law Jared Kushner will be a, quote, envoy of peace. Disgraced former Prince Andrew, the brother of the U.K. 's King Charles III, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office after further details emerged about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
What military strategies is the U.S. implementing to pressure Iran?
Host of Bloomberg's The Michelle Hussain Show gives more details into what the British police may be looking for.

That's Bloomberg's Michelle Hussain. Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Neil Kashkari says recent comments by National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, which are critical of a New York Fed study on tariffs, undermines the central bank's independence.
Over the last year, we've seen multiple attempts to try to compromise the Fed's independence, including in December when the Department of Justice served a subpoena to the Board of Governors over some building expenses. It's really about monetary policy, that we are doing our very best to make the best assessment of the economy based on data and analysis.
That's Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Neil Kashkari. Hassett had called the study, which showed U.S. companies were bearing most of the burden from President Trump's tariff hikes, an embarrassment.
