Iran Strikes Gulf Oil Sites
Anderson Cooper 360
Mar 17, 2026

President Trump says the fighting will be "wrapped up soon," even as the repercussions of it grow and strikes by Iran continue. One of the world's biggest gas fields in the United Arab Emirates was hit today, and Iranian drones also hit an oil tank farm near the Dubai airport this morning.  When the president was asked whether he was surprised he wasn’t briefed that Iran could strike neighboring countries, he told reporters, “No, the greatest experts, nobody thought they were going to hit.” Plus, Anderson speaks to a friend and mentor of U.S. Air Force Captain Ariana Savino, one of the six crew members killed when their refueling plane went down in Iraq.
