The conflict between Israel and Iran continues into its fourth day, with both sides continuing to trade blows that so far have spared critical oil infrastructure.

John Plueger, Air Lease CEO says the US needs to maintain a strong Boeing in the wake of the Air India crash involving one of their planes. Bob McNally of Rapidan Energy says crude prices could easily rise a further $3-5 on conflict risks. “Bloomberg Brief” delivers the market news, data and analysis you need to set your agenda.

B-2 Stealth Bomber "Hot Pits" At Indian Ocean Air Base, Positioned Within Striking Range Of Iran
The Middle East has been on edge all week as the world awaits a retaliatory Iranian attack on Israel that could spark a regional conflict. As of Friday, Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah rebels have been exchanging fire, and an oil tanker earlier this week in the southern Red Sea was hit by a missile attack, likely from Iran-backed Houthi forces.
With all eyes on the Middle East, our attention shifts to a "hot pit event" on Wednesday with a Northrop B-2 Spirit stealth bomber and US Air Force Airmen assigned to the 110th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron at the Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, according to the USAF.
A US Air Force B-2 Spirit is hot pit refueled during a Bomber Task Force mission at Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory, Aug. 21.
Hot pitting is an act of having an aircraft land, refuel and take off without shutting its engines down.https://t.co/zq...
