Iran war widens as Trump delays China trip and Baghdad embassy comes under attack
Trump says he may delay his China trip due to the widening Iran war, while a wave of drone- and missile-attacks targets US interests in Baghdad including the embassy and a house linked to Iranian advisers that reportedly killed four. The broader crisis spills into energy and shipping, with attacks on Gulf facilities, intercepts of missiles in Qatar and the UAE, and heightened regional tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.
