23. They haven't just targeted US bases

There are no US bases near the Saudi or Qatari refineries that were hit, as were water desalination facilities.

RoseTrellis is correct to question the "collateral damage" headline. But what they're missing is that it isn't the "Gulf Countries" that have said that. It's David Sanger badly misstating the case.

The Gulf states are being targeted because they support the US/Israel attacks and Iran knows it. They aren't angry at Trump's bombings... they're angry at Iran and getting close to joining the fray themselves.
