☘️ 祝大家圣帕特里克节快乐，读者们。今天世界上许多地方都会因人们身着绿色庆祝节日而显得更添绿意——包括芝加哥河，每年都会被染成鲜艳的翡翠色。除了宗教根源，这个节日已演变为一场全球范围的爱尔兰文化庆典，从三叶草、小矮妖到咸牛肉，再到一杯（或两杯）充满活力的绿啤酒，都彰显着节日的特色。
以下是你需要了解的其他事情，以便快速了解并开启新的一天。
1️⃣ 旅行中断
伊朗战争持续扰乱海湾地区的旅行，此前伊朗无人机袭击在最近几天引发了两起重大空中事件。周一，一架无人机击中迪拜国际机场附近的一个燃料罐并引发大火，导致该机场航班短暂暂停。机场关闭迫使航班取消和改道。阿联酋部分领空在夜间也关闭了数小时，此前该国称正在应对来自伊朗的来袭导弹和无人机袭击。与此同时，由于冲突推高油价，许多绕过中东的全球机票价格上涨，航空公司也警告未来燃油成本将更高。
2️⃣ 伊朗战争
波斯湾地区的美国盟友再次遭到袭击，伊朗最近几小时向科威特、沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋发射了无人机和弹道导弹。德黑兰还警告称可能会袭击美国在红海的资产，这引发了人们对局势进一步升级的担忧。今天早些时候，据CNN和伊拉克官员的视频定位显示，美国驻巴格达大使馆遭到无人机袭击。与此同时，以色列军方称已杀死伊朗最高安全官员阿里·拉里贾尼，但伊朗尚未证实这一说法。以色列军方官员表示，拉里贾尼一直指挥针对以色列和海湾阿拉伯国家的袭击。
3️⃣ 汽油价格
由于美国与以色列对伊朗的战争，汽油价格飙升，给许多美国人的钱包带来了更多经济压力。根据美国汽车协会（AAA）的数据，普通汽油的平均价格在过去一个月上涨了近80美分，即27%，柴油价格涨幅更大。然而，希望油价能缓解的驾车者不太可能得到各州的帮助，因为当前油价飙升，各州鲜少考虑类似2022年俄罗斯入侵乌克兰后部分州暂停汽油税的举措。分析师称，各州预算紧张是关键原因之一，使得减税的成本空间缩小。

4️⃣ 古巴停电
周一，古巴电网全面崩溃，使1000万人陷入黑暗。这是一系列停电中的最新一起，也是美国实际上切断对该岛石油供应以来首次全国性电网崩溃。工作人员正在努力恢复供电，但此次停电凸显了这个高度依赖燃料进口的国家日益严重的能源危机。在非官方市场上，古巴汽油价格飙升至约9美元/升——这意味着给汽车油箱加满油需要300多美元，而这比大多数古巴人一年的收入还要高。此次停电发生之际，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在椭圆形办公室暗示他可能“接管”或“解放”古巴，称他可以对这个岛屿“为所欲为”。
5️⃣ 肉类加工厂工人罢工
周一，科罗拉多州一家JBS旗下的工厂内数千名肉类加工厂工人罢工，这是该行业40年来首次罢工。JBS美国公司是四家主要牛肉加工企业之一，占美国牛肉产量的85%，在全国雇佣约25,000名工人。代表3,800名罢工工人的工会表示，JBS未能满足他们对加薪、改善安全措施和更好医疗保健的要求。JBS则表示，其当前提供的方案已包括工资增长、稳定的养老金和长期保障。据美国农场局联合会称，由于75年来最小的牛群规模，牛肉价格在过去一年上涨了15%，此次罢工也与此背景相关。

5 things to know for March 17: Travel disruptions in Middle East, Iran war, Gas prices, Cuba blackouts, Meatpacking workers

☘️ Happy St. Patrick’s Day, readers. Many parts of the world will look a bit greener today as people don the color to celebrate the holiday — including the Chicago River, famously dyed a vivid emerald each year. Beyond its religious roots, the holiday has evolved into a global celebration of Irish culture, marked by everything from shamrocks and leprechauns to corned beef and a spirited round (or two) of green beer.
Here’s what else you need to know to get up to speed and on with your day.
1️⃣ Travel disruptions
The war in Iran is continuing to disrupt travel across the Gulf after Iranian drone strikes triggered two major air incidents in recent days. Flights at Dubai International Airport were briefly suspended on Monday after a drone struck a nearby fuel tank, igniting a large fire. The shutdown forced cancellations and diversions as aviation authorities closed the airport. Part of the UAE’s airspace was also closed for a few hours overnight after the country said it was responding to incoming missiles and drone strikes from Iran. Meanwhile, the prices of many global airfares that bypass the Middle East are rising, as the conflict drives up oil prices and airlines warn of higher fuel costs ahead.
2️⃣ Iran war
US allies in the Persian Gulf are once again under attack, with Iran launching drones and ballistic missiles at Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the UAE in recent hours. Tehran is also warning it could target US assets in the Red Sea, raising fears of a broader escalation. Earlier today, the US Embassy in Baghdad was targeted by drones, according to video geolocated by CNN and Iraqi officials. Meanwhile, Israel’s military said it has killed Iran’s top security official, Ali Larijani, though Iran has not confirmed the claim. Larijani was the one directing attacks against Israel and the Gulf Arab states, an Israeli military official said.
3️⃣ Gas prices
Gas prices have skyrocketed due to the US-Israel war on Iran, adding even more financial strain on many Americans’ wallets. The average price of regular gas has jumped nearly 80 cents, or 27%, over the past month, according to AAA, with diesel rising even more. However, drivers hoping for relief at the pump are unlikely to get any help from their states amid the current spike. Unlike in 2022, when several states suspended gas taxes after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, few state officials are considering similar moves now. Tighter state budgets are one key reason, leaving less room for costly tax breaks, analysts say.

4️⃣ Cuba power failure
Cuba’s electrical grid suffered a total collapse on Monday, plunging 10 million people into the dark. It’s the latest in a string of blackouts and the first nationwide collapse since the US effectively cut off oil flows to the island. Crews are working to restore power, but the outage underscores a deepening energy crisis in a country heavily reliant on fuel imports. On the unofficial market, gas prices in Cuba have surged to about $9 a liter — meaning it costs more than $300 to fill up a car’s gas tank, which is more than most Cubans earn in a year. The blackout came as President Donald Trump suggested from the Oval Office that he might “take” or “free” Cuba, saying he could “do anything” with the island.
5️⃣ Meatpacking workers
Thousands of meatpacking workers walked off the job at a JBS-owned plant in Colorado on Monday in the industry’s first strike in 40 years. JBS USA is one of four major beef processors that account for 85% of US production and employs about 25,000 workers nationwide. The union representing 3,800 striking workers said that JBS failed to meet its demands for higher wages, improved safety measures and better healthcare. JBS said that its current offer already includes wage increases, a secure pension and long-term stability. The strike comes as beef prices have climbed 15% over the past year due to the smallest cattle herd in 75 years, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.
