US soldiers are hiding inside those hostels.I think since the leadership was killed, the decentralized structure is finding their own targets. The president's word was given zero value.
There are several interceptions in UAE today. I don't see any ineffectiveness as far as interceptions are concerned, despite that CNN report that THAAD radar was destroyed. Perhaps there are backup systems that kicked in.
Iran's missile barrage on gulf states will do one thing for sure. Whenever this war is over, these gulf states will invest a WHOLE lot even further on US defense systems. They already witnessed first hand these systems are incredible. Its literally like hitting a bullet with a bullet.
IMO, Iran should have kept hitting only US military bases and not the civilian targets like airports or hotels etc. This will not benefit Iran in long run. US/Israel wanted Iran to hit civilian targets. No one has any problem Iran hitting US bases. If Iran would have limited itself to only US bases then the message was very clear that these bases are not benefitial for region but a liability as these attract the attacks. But with civilian / economic targets hit all across, now there is opinion building again that these bases are important for protection because with their interceptor missiles a lot of economic destruction could not happened.
Sure, they are civilian buildings, but when active members of a standing military occupies those buildings and the owner of those buildings allows them, then he is responsible for bringing war to that building. The correct move is for all hotels not allowing US soldiers to stay there.
