News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Monica Ricks. The U.S. and Iran went tit-for-tat again last night, trading attacks for an eighth straight night as punishment for Iraq's attack in Jordan that killed two American service members. Earlier, Iran Supreme Leader Muqtaba Khamenei warned of unforgettable lessons for the U.S. for violating their memo of understanding. Iraq is now reshaping energy flows in the Middle East and using a vast fleet of trucks to carry fuel oil through Syria to reroute flows away from the Strait of Hormuz. Syria's gone from shipping no fuel to making up more than a quarter of Middle Eastern volumes in just months, with supplies arriving on thousands of trucks. That process could take about four days to reach Syria's Mediterranean ports.

Earlier this week, President Trump ordered ICE to continue traffic stops despite concerns, calling them an effective crime-fighting tool. Midterms may still be months away, but the White House is apparently already preparing for the aftermath. Bloomberg's Nathan Hager explains.

What happened in the latest U.S.-Iran exchanges after U.S. troop deaths?

Nathan Hager 2:37
People close to the Trump administration tell Bloomberg government the White House has begun recruiting lawyers to deal with a flurry of legal moves if Democrats regain control of at least one chamber of Congress. Michael Williams served as deputy general counsel of the Trump-Vance inaugural committee. He says the White House isn't ready to concede the midterms, but staff are preparing for another impeachment push as well as investigations into President Trump's inner circle.

Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested in Miami. U.S. Marshals took the brothers into custody late last night after British prosecutors announced they were seeking extradition on rape and sex trafficking charges. These are new charges dating back to 2010. The men are set to appear in federal court in Miami next week. Walmart says it's removed four bagged iceberg lettuce salad products from Taylor Farms from its shelves as recalls tied to a cyclospora outbreak expand. The products were sold at stores in 15 states, but the retailer emphasizes there have been no confirmed illnesses so far associated with these items.
