LONDON, June 13 (Reuters) - European shares were set to open sharply lower on Friday after Israel launched widescale strikes against Iran, which pushed the oil price up by 7% and drove a rush out of risk assets.
Euro STOXX 50 futures, STXEc1 which track blue-chip euro zone stocks, dropped 1.4%,
Futures on Britain's oil- heavy FTSE .FTSE fell 0.4%.
