P.M. Edition for Mar. 4. The geography of the U.S.-Iranconflict is expanding: the U.S. shot down an Iranian missile fired at Turkey, and also sankan 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.
