What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNew since our earlier coverage of Vice President Vance on Iran enrichment: CBS News has obtained fresh video of an Iranian attack on a U.S. base in Kuwait.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCBS says a person on the ground shot it at the start of the war. Joining us is an anonymous central bank official.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWhere are you?

  4. Unnamed Central Bank OfficialA parking garage. Level three. Don't say which pillar. Something is following me, and it might be a Prius.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorUnderstood. CBS says this footage shows the early days of the war. Why does a central banker care about a video from Kuwait?

  6. Unnamed Central Bank OfficialBecause war means oil, oil means inflation, and inflation means my phone rings at night. I haven't slept since a vending machine ate my dollar.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe editor's angle is escalation risk for Middle East stability and oil markets. Is your institution worried about that?

  8. Unnamed Central Bank OfficialOfficially, we are monitoring. Unofficially, we are hiding in a stairwell eating almonds. Someone just coughed. Was that you?

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat was not me. I am in a studio. Pin it down for me: is the bank changing anything because of this video?

  10. Unnamed Central Bank OfficialI can't confirm that. I can say our emergency plan is a laminated card, and the card is also in this garage somewhere.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe should be clear, none of that is a policy statement. It is one anonymous opinion from a concrete structure.

  12. Unnamed Central Bank OfficialFine. Truth is, nobody in my building knows what the oil market will do. We just say transitory and hope the room nods.

  13. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe will have to leave it there. Please check under your car.

  14. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAgain, CBS News reports the footage shows the attack at the start of the war.
