Here's your midday brief for Monday, March 2nd.

I'm Alex O'Sullough for the Wall Street Journal.

The U.S. is adding forces in the Middle East to support its operation in Iran. The conflict is widening across the region. Earlier, U.S. Central Command said that Kuwaiti air defenses shot down three

are in stable condition. And a fourth U.S. service member has been killed in action. The person was

wounded during Iran's initial attack and died later of the injuries. President Trump warns that

more casualties are likely. U.S. stocks are moderately lower in midday trading, while U.S. energy shares jumped,

gas exporter venture global, climbed. And the Justice Department's antitrust trial against

Live Nation kicks off today in a Manhattan federal court. The Justice Department says that

the company illegally dominates the concert market and retaliates against venues that don't use
