The Growing Middle East Conflict Risks Drawing in the U.S.’s NATO Allies

from WSJ What’s News · host The Wall Street Journal

P.M. Edition for Mar. 4. The geography of the U.S.-Iran conflict is expanding: the U.S. shot down an Iranian missile fired at Turkey, and also sank an Iranian ship in the Indian Ocean. Plus, oil prices stabilized today but are still up about 15% this week. We hear from WSJ reporter Benoît Morenne about why American frackers aren’t taking this as their cue to increase supply. And a record number of Americans are tapping into their 401(k)s to pay for emergencies. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
