In the week since the US and Israel attacked Iran, the price of oil has been on a wild ride. Javier Blas writes about the commodity for Bloomberg Opinion, but oil isn't his top concern right now. In a recent column, Blas takes a look at the extreme vulnerability of the drinking water supply in many countries in the Middle East.

This week on Everybody's Business, Stacey Vanek Smith and Max Chafkin talk with Blas about possible attacks on water infrastructure, and what happens if Iran destroys crucial plants as it retaliates against the US, Israel and their allies in the region.

Then Bloomberg Businessweek's Amanda Mull joins to talk about the latest news in artificial intelligence—why customers are quitting ChatGPT and how the business plans of Anthropic (owner of Claude) and OpenAI (owner of ChatGPT) seem to be diverging.

Finally, Bloomberg News senior reporter Drake Bennett discusses his special series podcast, The Sixth Bureau, which tracks a real-life double agent as he attempts to dig up secrets about the Chinese government for the US. It's a great weekend listen!
