Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast17 Mar

Iran War Day 18: UAE Closes Airspace, 200 US Troops Wounded and Trump Delays Xi Summit

The United Arab Emirates shut its entire airspace. The US Embassy in Baghdad was hit by three drones and four rockets — the most intense attack on that compound since the war began. And two hundred American service members have now been wounded, a figure that had been dramatically understated in official briefings until Tuesday.

The IRGC spokesperson said Iran's oldest missiles are what has been fired so far, and that the weapons built since the twelve-day war with Israel in June twenty twenty-five have not been deployed. CENTCOM says Iran's military is finished. Iran says it hasn't started yet.

Trump confirmed he has requested a delay to the Xi Jinping summit by approximately one month. The EU foreign ministers voted against sending warships to the Strait of Hormuz. The IMO chief said naval escorts would not guarantee safe passage even if they arrived. Brent crude remains above one hundred dollars. One million Lebanese are displaced. Israeli ground forces have entered southern Lebanon. Five Western leaders said a large-scale ground operation must be averted.

Trump threatened to revoke broadcasters' licences over war coverage. Pope Leo the Fourteenth told journalists not to become megaphones for power. And Iran is formally seeking reparations for the Minab school attack, building the legal case it will need when this eventually ends.

Day eighteen. The fires are burning from Baghdad to Abu Dhabi to Arak.
