Irans explosive drones and missiles have been expanding their target set well beyond military sites such as the (largely evacuated) US Fifth Fleet naval base in Bahrain.
Now luxury hotels and shopping malls, high-rise apartment blocks, state-of-the-art airport departure terminals are sporadically getting hit as gaps appear in the Arab Gulf states air defences.
These places were never built with the prospect in mind that they would one day come under attack from drones and ballistic missiles.

Time is, interestingly, not on the side of the authors of this aggression.
