Wall Street falls after attack on Iranian facilities

The three main US stock indices were falling after American forces attacked Iranian facilities in the Strait of Hormuz. This attack represented the first military action in a month. Geopolitical tension between the United States and Iran was thus escalating again, generating uncertainty in financial markets. Investors reacted nervously to the military conflict in the strategic region of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important oil shipping routes in the world.
