KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI slipped below the 1,700-point level as escalating Middle East tensions weighed on sentiment after U.S. President Donald Trump signalled more aggressive strikes on Iran.
Trump said in a televised address that while the conflict could end soon, U.S. forces would continue strikes on Iran for the next two to three weeks, offering no clear timeline and dampening hopes for a swift resolution.
