E2232: Iran War Day 18: Airstrikes, Ground Invasions, Escalation 3/17

Tonight on day 18 of the Iran war, Israel says it has killed Tehran’s de facto leader Ali Larijani and Basij chief Gholamreza Soleimani in overnight airstrikes, as explosions still echo over the capital’s skyline. Iran is answering with fresh waves of missiles and drones at Israel and key Gulf states, forcing sirens from Tel Aviv to the UAE and setting parts of the region’s oil infrastructure on fire. Israel has quietly pushed “limited” ground operations into southern Lebanon, trading fire with Hezbollah as more than a million people are driven from their homes. In Washington, President Trump is praising escalated US strikes inside Iran and publicly scolding allies who still refuse to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. And behind every briefing number, the human toll is surging—thousands dead or wounded across Iran and Lebanon, growing military losses, and rising outrage over strikes that keep hitting civilian neighborhoods.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.Discover other shows on the Talk Red Podcast Network, and get your daily fix of news, sports, and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.DISCLAIMER: Some elements of this podcast may include AI-generated content, such as cover thumbnail images, show descriptions and some background audio.
