Despite international scepticism, the US government has cited alleged threats from Iran, a long-time enemy of both Washington and its regional allies, including Israel and Saudi Arabia, but a powerbroker in Iraq.

Uber Technologies Inc shares were set to fall another 7% on Monday, doubling losses since its poorly-received Wall Street debut on Friday and raising more questions about investors' faith in its ability to make profits. The move, which came in a wide-ranging sell-off on global financial markets spurred by more U.S.-China trade tensions, pointed to shares opening at $38.54, valuing the company at almost $11 billion less than Friday's debut price of $45. Before going public, Uber lowered its valuation expectations twice in two months to address investor concerns over the company's mounting losses, and priced its initial public offering at the low end of the targeted range.
