I know things are unfolding quickly, but I’ve seen reports of attacks on the Dubai and Kuwait airports. In both cases reports are attributing it to Iran doing it in response to the US/Isreali attacks, but none seem to say why?

So why is Iran targeting them and not the US or Israel? I’m having trouble making it make sense.

    Technically, they are not attacking Dubai or Kuwait per se, they are attacking US military bases located there. Which, of course, poses a risk for the environment.

    When a US base shoots down an incoming missile, it is going to land somewhere. And this somewhere might be in normal civilian areas of the hosting country.
