- S&P 500 futures were little changed as traders assessed rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran, per CNBC's live updates.
- Wall Street's "peace trade" collided with renewed Iran fighting, the WSJ framed, as broader U.S. stock markets fell amid Iran strikes and the prospect of higher interest rates, per the Guardian.
