For decades, Iran has been pledging death to America and warning of the great firestorm that would be unleashed on the United States if Washington did not kowtow to the Iranian regime.
However, the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran have demonstrated that Iran has very limited power to do significant damage to the United States. Even more importantly, they have shown that Iranhas no allies.
No state actors have come, or even offered to come, to Iran’s rescue. Iran’s proxy networks, a primary tool of its foreign policy, have remained relatively inactive.
At the same time, while a number of Western governments andAmerican leftists criticizeU.S. actions, Iran is bombing its neighbors. By attacking countries across the Gulf, Tehran is making it even less likely that any of them would enter the war on Iran’s side.
Since the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran began on February 28, Iraniancounter-attackshave targeted at least ten countries.
Israel has been the target of only about39 percent of Iran’smissile and drone salvos, with the majority directed at neighboring states hosting U.S. forces.
Hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones have struck locations in Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Iraq, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, hitting U.S. military assets as well as civilian infrastructure, including airports, energy facilities, and residential buildings.
Gulf stateshave condemnedthe attacks as violations of international law and warned that they reserve the right to respond.
The United Arab Emirates was hit with 165 missiles and 541 drones through March 1 alone, killing three people and wounding 58.
Kuwait was targeted with 97 missiles and 283 drones, with at least three people reported killed.
