HONG KONG (Nikkei Markets) -- Asian shares outside Japan declined Friday alongside U.S. equity futures after a U.S. airstrike on the Iraqi capital of Baghdad killed an Iranian commander, a development that will worsen tensions between Washington and Tehran.
The Nikkei Asia300 index fell 0.3% to 1,393.90 at close after having advanced earlier in the day on the back of record highs on Wall Street.
