QUESTION: How to force iframe to be 100% of parent div width. Since parent div is only 200px in height, iframe video would be cropped which is also okay with me.

You can do this changing your CSS classes a little bit:

.video {
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
    height: 0;
    padding-bottom: 56.25%;
}

iframe {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}
