US Strikes Iran Island as Asian Stocks Fall

In Utah’s House District 63 race, Republican incumbent Norman Thurston and Democratic challenger David Chappell discussed housing affordability, water and other local issues, while Chappell urged young people to vote; the article said just 3% of people under 30 had voted with days left. Separately, markets weakened as U.S. midterm voting approached, with Asian technology shares leading declines amid renewed pressure on the AI trade. Investors also weighed Apple’s lower holiday-quarter margin outlook, Australia’s interest-rate increase and developments in U.S.-Iran talks. Polling cited in the market reports favored Democrats to win the House, while control of the Senate remained uncertain.
