On Thursday, June 19, local time, a new round of missile attacks from Iran hit a hospital in Israel, reportedly injuring dozens of people and further escalating the offensive situation between Israel and Iran. The Israeli Prime Minister stated that eliminating the Iranian nuclear threat is a common goal for Israel and the United States. Meanwhile, reports indicate that U.S. President Trump believes Israel should carry out airstrikes to incapacitate important targets—the Fordow nuclear facility in Iran.

On the 19th, around the usual lunchtime for U.S. stocks, media reports stated that Trump received a briefing analyzing the pros and cons of potentially bombing the Fordow nuclear facility. Trump believes it is necessary to incapacitate the facility but has not yet made a final decision.

As the reports emerged, international crude oil futures rose over 2%, while U.S. stock futures continued to decline, with Nasdaq 100 futures and Russell 2000 futures both dropping over 1%.
