They only attacked countries that host US bases, correct?
No. Azerbaijan hosts no U.S. bases. Also, the Gulf hosts U.S. bases in part to protect against Iran. Blowing up hotels while missing American warships underlines why Iran is a shit neighbor.
Israel on the other hand has a history of not being so.
They’ve given mixed messages. You see the new talking points being echoed down thread [1].
> Iran has been quite conscientious about taking responsibility
There is no singular Iran. The President apologized. Then the IRGC hit more targets in neutral nations. (Again, unless we use the new definition of neutrality which means everyone is an enemy.)
Yes there is no one central command, but in spite of that whoever is doing the shooting in Iran has been conscientious about taking responsibility.
I find this believable because Azerbaijan has not been hit again as compared to other neighbouring Arab nations.
