World stocks and oil prices are mixed after the US launches strikes in southern Iran

Shares were mixed Tuesday in Europe and Asia after the U.S. military said it carried out what it called “self-defense” strikes in southern Iran, including on missile launch sites and boats placing mines. The attacks came even as President Donald Trump said on social media that negotiations on ending the war were “proceeding nicely.” In early European trading, Germany's DAX lost 0.7% to 25,214.08, while the CAC 40 in Paris shed 0.9% to 8,187.07.
