Wall Street futures experienced a sharp decline on Monday morning as an escalating conflict in the Middle East drove investors toward safe-haven assets. The United States and Israel conducted fresh military strikes against Iran following weekend attacks that resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In response, Tehran launched missile barrages across the region, intensifying fears of a broader regional war.
