YouTube Shorts embeds are displayed with an incorrect aspect ratio on mobile devices, causing the iframe to overflow its container and break the layout.

This PR adds a targeted CSS rule to ensure Shorts (vertical videos) maintain a proper 9:16 aspect ratio, allowing them to scale correctly within responsive layouts.
