Summary
*This podcast has been corrected to remove an erroneous reference to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as president
Israel says Iran's security chief Ali Larijani has been killed. Rockets and drones were launched at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad as Iranian-backed militias target U.S. interests in Iraq. Sources say U.S. President Donald Trump was warned that attacking Iran could trigger retaliation against Gulf allies, despite his claims that Tehran's reaction came as a surprise. Afghanistan says 400 people have been killed in a Pakistan air strike on a Kabul hospital. Plus, Cuba’s national electric grid collapses.
