They are attacking close friends who literally harbor the armies attacking Iran. The logic seems very straight forward imho. Attack the US army bases and pester the nations that allows those bases in hopes that they might ask the us to get bend. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

They've attacked everyone they possibly could with ZERO regard for anything. They attacked Cyprus! They've attacked Turkey. They've attacked Afghanistan (are you seriously going to claim Afghanistan is harboring the US army?) They've attacked everyone they possibly could attack, zero exceptions. Next time all the gulf countries will know: get America and everyone else to launch attacks against Iran from your soil. Make sure to participate. Why? Iran will attack everyone regardless of alliances, who attacks, whether anyone attacks at all, what bases exist, whether or not they participate, or whether they avoid hostilities. So obviously, it's better to be part of the hostilities against Iran, to have an army on your soil that will protect at least some of your territory. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> The logic seems very straight forward imho. Attack the US army bases and pester the nations that allows those bases in hopes that they might ask the us to get bend If only they attacked the American bases as opposed to also attacking civilian infrastructure such as oil facilities and residential neighborhoods If only they had skipped gulf countries who had pushed the US not to strike and refused to let the US use their bases to attack Iran (all of them) If only they hadn't attacked countries without any bases such as Azerbaijan Then I think your arguments would have had more merit | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
