U.S. President Donald Trump<\/a> said Monday he has demanded<\/a> about seven countries send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz<\/a> open as fears of a global energy crisis persist. Iranian strikes on commercial ships in and around the strait, and even just the threat of attacks, have slowed shipping there to a trickle.<\/p>\n

The U.S. and Israel have kept pummeling what they describe as military targets in Iran\u2019s capital<\/a>, and Israel stepped up its campaign against Iran-backed militants in Lebanon. More than 1 million people have been displaced in Lebanon \u2014 roughly 20% of the nation\u2019s population<\/a> \u2014 as U.N. peacekeepers say Israel is massing ground troops along the border.<\/p>\n

Iran has retaliated with persistent drone and missile attacks<\/a> on neighboring countries, including oil fields in Iraq and the United Arab Emirates, where a drone strike temporarily closed Dubai\u2019s airport, a crucial travel hub.<\/p>\n

The war has killed at least 1,300 people in Iran, at least 880 in Lebanon and 12 in Israel, according to officials in those countries. The U.S. military says 13 U.S. service members have been killed and about 200 wounded.<\/p>\n

Israel brings journalists to the Old City holy site damaged by shrapnel<\/p>\n

Near the roof of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate in Jerusalem\u2019s Old City, where shrapnel from an intercepted Iranian missile fell Monday, Israel\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesman Oren Marmorstein accused Tehran of targeting holy sites and trying to \u201cescalate\u201d the conflict.<\/p>\n

Shrapnel also fell near the Western Wall, the holiest site where Jews can pray, and within the Al Aqsa Mosque compound, the third-holiest site in Islam.<\/p>\n

Missile strikes on Jerusalem in the past have been rare, apparently because of the presence of the mosque and the nearby golden Dome of the Rock.<\/p>\n

Qatar reports missile and drone attacks without casualties<\/p>\n

Qatar\u2019s Defense Ministry said it intercepted all of the drones \u2014 without saying how many \u2014 and 13 missiles, while one missile landed in an uninhabited area.<\/p>\n

No casualties were reported, it said.<\/p>\n

Fire at a UAE oil field after a drone attack<\/p>\n

No casualties were reported after the drone hit the Shah oil field Monday evening in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, according to the sheikhdom\u2019s media office.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the second attack on an oil facility in the UAE on Monday, after a fire broke out in the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone following a drone attack.<\/p>\n

Israeli army says more missiles are fired from Iran<\/p>\n

Moments later, sirens sounded in parts of central Israel and the West Bank<\/p>\n

Kuwait reports more missile and drone attacks<\/p>\n

Kuwait\u2019s Defense Ministry says air defense systems were responding to missile and drone attacks Monday evening. It said explosions could be heard amid the interception operations.<\/p>\n

Israel approves new battle plans for continued ground operation in Lebanon<\/p>\n

The military\u2019s chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, said the Isareli army is \u201cdetermined to deepen the operation until all of our objectives are achieved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking on a visit to the northern border, Zamir said \u201cWe are preparing for what comes next and reinforcing the Northern Command with additional troops in order to strengthen the forward defensive posture, deepen the damage to Hezbollah, and push the threat away from the communities in the north.\u201d<\/p>\n

The army said in a statement that Zamir approved plans for \u201ccontinued limited, targeted operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

A military spokesman said earlier on Monday that the army had deployed additional ground troops into Lebanon for what it calls a \u201climited and targeted operation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Economic conditions are getting hard for Iranians amid war<\/p>\n

A Tehran resident said workers paid by the day were struggling especially hard because of the war. The internet blackout also has hammered businesses that normally rely on online sales.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoney has become scarce, people cannot buy things, and businesses are being damaged,\u201d the resident said, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals from the government.<\/p>\n

The streets were busier than at the beginning of the war, he said, because people were growing desperate and needed to earn money.<\/p>\n

Stores still had food. Fuel was not in short supply. Utilities were still functioning. And people could still withdraw money from banks, he said. But he said people were deeply anxious as the attacks persisted.<\/p>\n

Even before the war, Iran\u2019s economy had been crippled by international sanctions.<\/p>\n

UN adds to media speculation of a UN-led initiative around the Strait of Hormuz<\/p>\n

U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric raised speculation about an eventual U.N.-led initiative after saying the global impact of restrictions or closure of the vital Strait of Hormuz \u201ccannot be underestimated.\u201d<\/p>\n

He referred to behind-the-scenes negotiations that led to the July 2022 deal that allowed Ukrainian grain exports through the Black Sea after Russia\u2019s invasion, saying \u201csilence was the better half of valor.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres \u201cremains very much engaged and in frequent contact with senior officials in the region and beyond,\u201d he said, \u201cbut we\u2019re not going to be feeding the speculation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dujarric said Guterres will head to Brussels on Tuesday for meetings with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and other EU officials.<\/p>\n

EU considers immediate steps to ease energy costs amid the Iran war<\/p>\n

As the Iran war sends energy costs higher across the 27-nation European Union, Energy Commissioner Dan J\u00f8rgensen said EU energy ministers met Monday in Brussels to discuss targeted, temporary steps to lower bills for businesses and vulnerable households.<\/p>\n

Over the longer term, he said the EU will double down on clean energy and domestic production to reduce reliance on volatile global markets, referencing the EU\u2019s push to cut dependence on Russian energy after Moscow\u2019s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow Europe faces again an existential choice: Stay dependent on volatile global energy markets, or finally take control of our own energy future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

About 200 US troops wounded since start of the Iran war, military says<\/p>\n

About 200 U.S. troups have been wounded since the start of the Iran war though more than 180 service members have returned to duty, Capt. Tim Hawkins, the spokesman for U.S. Central Command, told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Hawkins said 10 service members are considered seriously wounded.<\/p>\n

The previous update released last week by the Pentagon put the number of wounded personnel at around 140 and eight as \u201cseverely injured.\u201d<\/p>\n

CENTCOM has not said when or where those troops were wounded, or given details on the type of injuries.<\/p>\n

Since the war in Iran began, 13 U.S. service members have been killed.<\/p>\n

An airstrike turns a police station in a Tehran neighborhood to dust<\/p>\n

A resident of Tehran was driving Monday when an airstrike destroyed a police station in the Iranian capital and heavily damaged neighborhood shops nearby. It appeared the police station had been abandoned days ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe blast was so strong it shook our eardrums. The cars in front of me were almost completely destroyed,” the resident said, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals from the government.<\/p>\n

He quickly drove in reverse to get away. Others abandoned their cars, he said.<\/p>\n

The government sealed off the area and detained anyone trying to photograph it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation felt like the end of the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A drone attack targets an oil field in southern Iraq<\/p>\n

Two Iraqi security officials said that the Majnoon oil field in Iraq’s southern Basra province was targeted by two drones Monday.<\/p>\n

No casualties were reported, and it was not immediately clear if there was damage to the facilities.<\/p>\n

Iraq\u2019s oil industry has been severely impacted by the American-Israeli war with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil trading corridor.<\/p>\n

Another security official said that air defenses shot down a drone that attempted to target a U.S. logistics support center near the Baghdad airport. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly.<\/p>\n

Iran and Iran-backed Iraqi militias have launched dozens of attacks against U.S. facilities in Iraq since the beginning of the war.<\/p>\n

United Nations peacekeepers see Israeli buildup in southern Lebanon<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an \u201cevident\u201d buildup of Israeli troops inside Lebanese territory in at least six locations near the Blue Line, the border with Israel, said the U.N. peacekeeping force spokesperson Kandice Ardiel.<\/p>\n

UNIFIL peacekeepers have also seen clashes around the villages of Odaisseh and Khiam in the region. In some cases, she said, Israeli ground incursions reached at least 5 kilometers (3 miles) into Lebanese territory, although forces have not established permanent positions that deep.<\/p>\n

The Israeli military has said it is moving more troops into Lebanon as it attempts to push Hezbollah away from the border but has not given numbers.<\/p>\n

U.N. peacekeepers have not been able to move around or monitor the situation fully because of the current fighting, Ardiel noted.<\/p>\n

Strike in Iraq kills 6 fighters with a force that once fought the Islamic State group<\/p>\n

Iraq\u2019s Popular Mobilization Forces said Monday that one of its checkpoints in Anbar province was hit and another four fighters were also wounded in addition to the six killed.<\/p>\n

The PMF is a network of mostly Shiite, Iran-backed militias formed to fight the Islamic State group after extremists seized large parts of Iraq in 2014. Baghdad incorporated the PMF into its armed forces in 2016.<\/p>\n

In practice, some factions have continued to operate outside state control and have attacked U.S. troops during the current American-Israeli war with Iran.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate comment from the U.S. or Israel on the strike.<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s Merz warns Israel that a ground offensive in Lebanon could spur an \u2018exodus of refugees\u2019<\/p>\n

Speaking in Berlin, the German chancellor condemned Hezbollah for entering the conflict \u201con behalf of Iran\u201d and called on the Lebanese militant group to stop attacking Israel and to disarm.<\/p>\n

At the same time, he urged Israel to avoid attacking civilians in Lebanon and said a wider ground war \u201cwould further exacerbate the already highly tense humanitarian situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe therefore urge our Israeli friends: Do not take this path,\u201d Merz said of a broader ground offensive. \u201cIt would be a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s Merz says Iran war can only end with a political solution<\/p>\n

\u201cBombing it into submission is, in all likelihood, not the right approach,\u201d to creating a democratic government in Iran, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said. \u201cThere will be no military solution here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Responding to Trump\u2019s calls to send warships to police the Strait of Hormuz, Merz said \u201cNATO is a defensive alliance, not an interventionist one.\u201d Mertz spoke Monday after meeting with the Dutch prime minister.<\/p>\n

NATO troops deployed for 18 years to Afghanistan and its 2011 air campaign helped topple Libya\u2019s late leader Moammar Gadhafi.<\/p>\n

Jerusalem\u2019s Old City area is hit by shrapnel from an Iranian missile interception<\/p>\n

There were no reports of injuries after chunks of twisted metal smashed into areas of Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem, including the Old City.<\/p>\n

Shrapnel hit the rooftop of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate in Jerusalem, according to the Patriarchate, just meters from the Church of the Holy Sepulcher<\/a>, where many Christians believe Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead.<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s Fire and Rescue service said a large piece from an intercepted missile struck a home in east Jerusalem\u2019s Silwan neighborhood, which is adjacent to the Old City walls.<\/p>\n

Another large fragment landed in the yard of a home in Sheikh Jarrah, just north of the Old City, according to the Jerusalem Governate. Both are predominantly Palestinian neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

Although wartime damage to the Old City is relatively rare, it contains sites that are sacred to Jews, Muslims and Christians, meaning any hits or near-misses sharpen the conflict\u2019s stakes.<\/p>\n

Trump says he\u2019s frustrated about a lack of \u2018enthusiasm\u2019 from other countries to join in policing the Strait of Hormuz<\/p>\n

The president said at an event at the White House on Monday that \u201cnumerous countries\u201d have told him \u201cthey\u2019re on the way\u201d to help police the strait but he complained about their reluctance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe level of enthusiasm of enthusiasm matters to me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He seemed to suggest their hesitancy showed a lack of reciprocity by countries that have defense agreements with the U.S.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that we\u2019ll protect them and if ever needed, if we ever needed help, they won\u2019t be there for us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Egypt\u2019s top diplomat is visiting regional allies<\/p>\n

To reiterate Cairo\u2019s support for nations impacted by Iranian air attacks, Egypt\u2019s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty on Monday concluded a round of visits to Oman, Qatar, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

His talks in Riyadh are expected to discuss de-escalation efforts and \u201ccreating a coordinated Arab move to protect sovereignty and resources of Arab countries,\u201d according to a Foreign Ministry statement.<\/p>\n

A new statement is issued in the name of Iran\u2019s new supreme leader amid reports he was wounded in an airstrike<\/p>\n

Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei<\/a> said all those previously appointed to government positions by his father, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, will remain in their posts.<\/p>\n

Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen in public<\/a> since he was chosen to replace his father, who was killed in the initial wave of U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran. Mojtaba Khamenei\u2019s statement Monday was carried on several semiofficial news sites.<\/p>\n

The death toll in Lebanon from Israeli strikes increases to 886<\/p>\n

That\u2019s up from 850 killed as of Sunday, according to Lebanon\u2019s Health Ministry.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the ministry said the death toll includes at least 111 children and 67 women. The number of wounded has climbed to 2,141 people, including 332 children and 362 women.<\/p>\n

The latest round of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah began on March 2. Israel says it is striking Hezbollah militants and infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The Israeli strikes have mostly been in southern and eastern Lebanon as well as parts of Beirut, and have targeted buildings, vehicles and even tents for internally displaced people.<\/p>\n

More than 800,000 people \u2014 nearly one out of every seven residents of Lebanon \u2014 have been displaced after Israel ordered people to evacuate large swathes of the country.<\/p>\n

Israeli ambassador doesn\u2019t rule out sending navy to police Strait of Hormuz but says it should be a global effort<\/p>\n

A day after Trump demanded other countries to join a coalition to police the Strait of Hormuz, Israel\u2019s envoy to the U.N. tried to make the case that the burden shouldn\u2019t be just on America\u2019s closest ally in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand the need to support the effort of the U.S. and it should be a global effort,\u201d Danny Danon said. \u201cYou look at Israel, a tiny country and you know Iran is I think 80 times bigger than Israel and we take a lot of the burden for the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Israeli ambassador says \u2018a few players\u2019 are trying to mediate talks with Lebanon<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s U.N. ambassador Danny Danon told reporters Monday that a few countries are trying to mediate and host talks between Israel and Lebanon but that his country is determined to \u201cdegrade\u201d Hezbollah\u2019s capabilities before any negotiations can take place.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur message to the Lebanese government is simple: step up. Step in,\u201d Danon said. \u201cSince the ceasefire in November 2024, the Lebanese government has not done what it needed to do to dismantle Hezbollah.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cLebanon must restrain Hezbollah now, or we will.\u201d<\/p>\n

IEA says emergency oil stocks could be tapped again if needed<\/p>\n

The 32 member countries of the International Energy Agency could release more oil from emergency stockpiles if necessary, on top of 400 million barrels announced last week. That was the message Monday from IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol.<\/p>\n

Birol said last week\u2019s release was a \u201cbuffer for now\u201d that had helped restrain the increase in oil prices. But he added there are \u201ca lot of stocks left despite this huge release.\u201d<\/p>\n

That means \u201cwe can do more later, as and if needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Birol says members have a further 1.4 billion barrels in reserves or industry stocks that governments could access.<\/p>\n

The IEA head says the single most important factor for a return to stable flows of oil and gas would be a resumption of tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

Before the Iran war, the global economy consumed about 101 million barrels of oil a day. Brent crude is trading at over $100 a barrel.<\/p>\n

Shrapnel from Iranian missile barrage falls near the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem<\/p>\n

Shrapnel from an interception fell on the rooftop of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate in Jerusalem, according to the Patriarchate. That\u2019s just meters from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, built on the spot where Christian tradition holds that Jesus was crucified, buried and resurrected.<\/p>\n

There were no immediate reports of injuries from the impact.<\/p>\n

Jerusalem\u2019s Old City, where there are holy sites sacred to Muslims, Christians, and Jews, has come under uncommon fire this war. In past missile exchanges with Iran \u2014 including the 12-day-war \u2014 the city had been spared the damage seen in nearby cities like Tel Aviv or Beersheba.<\/p>\n

But since the start of the most recent war, shrapnel has struck multiple sites close to the Old City, including homes in east Jerusalem, a main highway into Jerusalem and a concert venue in West Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

Falling oil prices send stocks higher<\/p>\n

Oil prices are down, and stocks are up Monday, though such moves have been quick to change since the war in Iran<\/a> began.<\/p>\n

The S&P 500 rose 1% in early trading, coming off its third straight losing week<\/a>, its longest such streak in a year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 325 points, or 0.7%, as of 9:35 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 1.2% higher.<\/p>\n

The driver for markets once again was the price of oil. A barrel of benchmark U.S. crude fell 4.1% to $94.62, easing some pressure off the economy after topping $102 earlier in the morning. Brent crude, the international standard, fell 1.4% to $101.72 per barrel after earlier getting as high as $106.50.<\/p>\n

Oil prices have been mostly ripping higher from roughly $70 per barrel since the United States and Israel began their attacks on Iran.<\/p>\n

Lebanon\u2019s foreign ministry criticizes Hezbollah over shooting at UN peacekeepers<\/p>\n

In a Monday statement, the ministry recalled the government\u2019s decision which prohibits \u201cthe military and security activities of Hezbollah.\u201d<\/p>\n

It added that the ministry\u2019s position in the matter is clear in which \u201cno armed group operating outside the authority of the state\u201d will be permitted to draw Lebanon further into instability in service of agendas that run counter to Lebanon\u2019s national interests.<\/p>\n

The ministry was apparently referring to Iran, Hezbollah\u2019s main backer.<\/p>\n

The U.N. peacekeeping force in Lebanon known as UNIFIL said Sunday that peacekeepers were fired upon, \u201clikely by non-state armed groups\u201d on three separate occasions while conducting patrols around their bases in three villages in southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n

The U.N. peacekeeping force did not say Hezbollah was behind the attacks.<\/p>\n

Genesis Prize doubles award to actor Gal Gadot<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s Genesis Prize says it\u2019s doubling the prize it\u2019s awarded to Israeli actor Gal Gadot to $2 million to promote healing and resilience in Israel.<\/p>\n

The \u201cWonder Woman\u201d star was named this year\u2019s laureate in November for her support of Israel. She dedicated the $1 million prize to organizations that \u201chelp Israel heal\u201d after more than two years of war.<\/p>\n

The Genesis Prize, along with the Jewish Funders Network, a group of philanthropic leaders, said Monday they were doubling that gift with matching funds.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt a time when Israel\u2019s caregivers are stretched beyond capacity, we must ensure that those who are helping others heal receive the support they need,\u201d Andres Spokoiny, president and chief executive of the network, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The prize is granted each year to a person for their professional achievements, contributions to humanity and commitment to Jewish values.<\/p>\n

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says China trip could be postponed<\/p>\n

Leavitt says \u201cleader-to-leader\u201d talks between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are happening and that \u201cat this point,\u201d Trump looks forward to visiting China.<\/p>\n

But those dates \u201cmay be moved,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs commander-in-chief, it\u2019s his number one priority right now to ensure the continued success of this Operation Epic Fury,\u201d Leavitt told reporters at the White House on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent downplays oil price surge<\/p>\n

The treasury secretary followed Trump\u2019s lead Monday and dismissed concerns about rising oil prices since the start of the Iran war.<\/p>\n

Bessent accused the media of \u201ctrying to make it into some crisis that it\u2019s not,\u201d and he insisted prices would come down after the conflict ends.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know how many weeks it will be, but on the other side of this, the world will be safer, and we will be better supplied,\u201d Bessent said on CNBC.<\/p>\n

He said the Treasury Department hasn\u2019t traded oil futures to try to cap prices. Asked whether it would going forward, the secretary said: \u201cI\u2019m not sure under what authority or what auspices\u201d that would happen.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told Bloomberg Television over the weekend that the administration has talked about that strategy.<\/p>\n

UAE reports attacks by 6 missiles and 21 drones<\/p>\n

The United Arab Emirates was attacked Monday with six ballistic missiles and 21 drones coming from Iran. That\u2019s according to the Emirati Defence Ministry.<\/p>\n

The ministry tallied 304 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles and 1,627 drones since the start of the war.<\/p>\n

The attacks killed seven people including two troops, it said.<\/p>\n

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer defends decision to differ with Trump<\/p>\n

Starmer has defended resisting Trump\u2019s pressure for the U.K. to join the war against Iran, saying he has \u201cstood by my principles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump has berated the British leader for limiting the use of U.K. bases by American warplanes and declining to send an aircraft carrier to the Middle East. Trump complained to the Financial Times that \u201cwhen I asked for them to come, they didn\u2019t want to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Starmer said at a news conference Monday that British troops should only be sent into action that is legal and has \u201ca proper thought-through plan.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday he has demanded about seven countries send warships to keep the Strait…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22072,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[328,197,102,10612,196,463,101,782,200,771,1102,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-22303","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-strait-of-hormuz","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-general-news","10":"tag-hormuz","11":"tag-iran-israel-us-latest-march-16-2026","12":"tag-iran-war","13":"tag-religion","14":"tag-strait-of-hormuz","15":"tag-u-s-news","16":"tag-war-and-unrest","17":"tag-washington-news","18":"tag-wire","19":"tag-world-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116240749508711809","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22303"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22303\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
