US-Iran War Update: Strikes, Stalemate, and the Risks for Energy Markets

Date Aired: Thursday, July 30, 2026

More than a month after the US and Iran agreed to a memorandum of understanding, a lasting diplomatic resolution is elusive. Fighting continues, peace talks are stalling, and traffic in the Strait of Hormuz remains largely frozen.

Join senior experts from Bloomberg Economics and BloombergNEF for a briefing on the latest developments in the US-Iran war and what it all means for the region, major economies, and energy and financial markets.

Attendees will have opportunity to participate in Q&A with the analysts.
