08:00 AM EDT, 06/11/2026 (MT Newswires) -- US equity futures were higher pre-bell Thursday as the US said it completed attacks against Iran after another round of "self-defense strikes."

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were 0.8% higher, S&P 500 futures were up 0.7%, and Nasdaq futures were 1.2% higher.

The strikes, which started after a US Army Apache helicopter was shot down on Wednesday, were conducted at the direction of President Donald Trump, US Central Command said in an X post. Iran responded with attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain, while Israel warned of launches from Lebanon.

Trump later told Fox News that he had spoken directly with Iranian officials, who had asked him to stop bombing.
