News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Amy Morris. President Trump's deadline has come and gone for a naval blockade of Iranian ships near the Strait of Hormuz. In a social media post after that 10 a.m. window closed, the president promised to eliminate Iranian fast attack ships that come close to the blockade. Bloomberg's Dan Williams with more from Jerusalem.
It's not a full closure. It is indeed imposing U.S. military control, U.S. military might over that waterway. The question is, will the Iranians rise to this challenge by perhaps trying to run that blockade or encouraging ships that they deal with to run that blockade, which could actually draw American fire?
Bloomberg's Dan Williams reports Iran, for its part, has threatened to target all ports in and near the Persian Gulf if its shipping hubs are threatened. President Trump has said Iran can never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Defense Research Analyst Wayne Sanders says says the intelligence community cannot afford to be wrong about that.
If you're going to be wrong, you want to be wrong because you have assessed that they had additional capability and then you had to use additional assets to be able to confirm or deny whether or not they have it. What you don't want to do is say, hey, we have enough information right now to believe that that nuclear fissile material is gone and then find out that you were wrong.

Hungary's Prime Minister-elect Peter Magyar has accused outgoing Foreign Minister Peter Siardo of destroying documents related to European Union sanctions. as he pledged to put an end to the country's cozy ties with Russia.
Magyar says Hungary will not stand in the way of a 90 billion euro loan to Kyiv, but that they can't afford it either.
I personally agree that Hungary should opt out. Hungary is in a very difficult financial situation and it is our job to bring back the EU funds that belongs to us. So we cannot really take out even more loans.
Hungary's Prime Minister-elect Peter Magyar. Goldman Sachs shares fell after that bank reported a surprise drop in bond trading revenue despite a record quarter from the firm's equities team.
