The FTSE 100 index fell by 101 points to 10,404 as tensions rose following US strikes on Iran and increased oil prices. Key stocks like BT dropped due to government blocking an Indian billionaire's stake increase, while several companies went ex-dividend, impacting the index. IQE reported wider losses despite improved trading and fundraising, and Johnson Matthey announced a $360 million acquisition. SSE reported lower profits but increased dividends amid record investment spending. The market remains cautious amid geopolitical risks and dividend adjustments.
