War Secretary Pete Hegseth said Iran’s war on Americans has effectively become America’s retribution against the Iranian regime. Hegseth insisted the conflict “is not endless” while sharply rejecting comparisons to past U.S. wars in the Middle East.

Global oil prices spiked on Monday as the United States and Israel continued a joint military operation targeting Iran’s military infrastructure. Global benchmark Brent crude oil jumped from Friday’s close of $73.21 per barrel to more than $80 at one point before settling around $78.46, a gain of more than 7%. The prices could jump even more if maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz continues to be disrupted. Every day, about one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas passes through the strait, according to Bloomberg.  Citigroup analysts said there was about a 20% chance that oil could jump to $120 a barrel if the war escalates and maritime flows are significantly disrupted.  The United States Maritime Administration issued a warning Saturday advising ships to stay clear of the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf, and the Gulf of Oman.  “It is recommended that vessels keep clear of this area if possible. Any U.S.-flagged, owned, or crewed commercial vessels that are operating in these areas should maintain a standoff of 30 nautical miles from U.S. military vessels to reduce the risk of being mistaken as a threat,” the administration said.  Multiple oil tankers in the region have been damaged since fighting began, Reuters reported.  Oil producers in the region have also shut down operations amid strikes from Iran. In Saudi Arabia, Aramco shut down its Ras Tanura refinery as a precautionary measure after one of its storage facilities was reportedly struck by an Iranian drone. The facility produces around 550,000 barrels of oil per day. Other producers in the Iraqi-Kurdistan region have also paused production for precautionary purposes.  QatarEnergy announced that it was pausing production amid attacks on its facilities. QatarEnergy is the world’s largest liquefied natural-gas producer. That announcement came after a strike on Qatar’s Ras Laffan complex, where it processes natural gas. European natural gas prices jumped by as much as 50% following the announcement. It remains unclear how long the U.S.-Israel operation will continue, though President Donald Trump has said it could go on for weeks.

Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos gave his first interview since the company pulled out of their deal to acquire Warner Bros., saying contrary to the rumors, it wasn’t President Trump’s influence that killed the merger. The entertainment exec called the competing offer from Paramount “irrational” and claimed he had no regrets about how it all played out. Sarandos said it came down to having a set price amount they weren’t willing to go beyond and being outbid by David Ellison’s rival offer. “We had a very tight range that we’d be willing to pay and made that offer back when we closed this deal,” Sarandos told Lucas Shaw of Bloomberg in an interview published Saturday. “I’m happy where we got in and happy where we got out.” Rumors swirled that the Department of Justice may have influenced the breakdown, or that Trump himself may have had sway. But Sarandos said those narratives are false. “I don’t know that there was growing political resistance,” the Netflix exec said. “It was a growing narrative of political resistance. But we were on a normal regulatory path. … This story has been fed out for everybody, but it’s just not accurate. We were not only involved with the DOJ, we were involved with 50 regulatory bodies around the world. These things have been going exactly the way they should.” Sarandos told Shaw that Trump “stayed completely neutral on this.” “The truth of it is, someone was going to lose it for a dollar,” Sarandos said of the deal. “And the quicker you accepted that, the better.” Shaw described Paramount as being an “unusual other buyer,” which Sarandos agreed with. “Unusual, yeah, unusual, irrational, whatever words you want to use in that,” he replied. “It’ll be fascinating to see the next steps. I have been on the record a lot in the last two weeks talking about what I think the future looks like. I’m confident in our future that we’re not impacted by all that. In fact, maybe it’s to our advantage. But I hope I’m wrong for the sake of the industry.” Warner Bros. agreed in December to an $82.7 billion deal with Netflix. Paramount responded with several hostile takeover bids over the following months, culminating in a surprise twist as the streaming giant bowed out in February. “…this transaction was always a ‘nice to have’ at the right price, not a ‘must have’ at any price,” Sarandos and Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters said in a statement at the time, as The Daily Wire previously reported.
