Here's your midday brief for Wednesday, March 4th. I'm Alex O'Sullough for the Wall Street Journal.

An American submarine has sunk an Iranian warship. Defense Secretary Pete Hegeseth said today that the Iranian ship was

sailing in the Indian Ocean when it was struck by a U.S. torpedo. He says it's the first sinking

of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War II. The U.S. has been focused on destroying the

entire fleet of Iranian warships. And a U.S. official and a regional officials say the U.S. shot down an Iranian missile that

was headed toward a Turkish military base that hosts American forces. Turkey earlier said NATO forces

shot down the missile. Qatar Energy, the world's largest producer of liquefied natural gas,

said it can't fulfill its contractual obligations because of attacks on its facilities.

Two days after it halted its entire LNG output in the wake of an Iranian drone strike on its

facilities, it declared force majeure, a way for companies to be released from contractual liabilities.

It could be a sign that Qatar doesn't intend to restart its gas plants soon.

And U.S. markets appear to set aside their fears over the conflict in the Middle East.

Stocks rose in morning trading and oil prices stopped their rise, with Brent crude stabilizing around $81 a barrel.
