For the Gulf states, a red line has been crossed Frank Gardner Security correspondent Iran’s explosive drones and missiles have been expanding their target set well beyond military sites such as the (largely evacuated) US 5th 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.
I‘ve a lot of time for #FrankGardner but this tripe is disingenuous at best. The vicious, nasty regimes in the #Gulf states have cynically aligned themselves with the #US & #Israel at the expense of everyone else in the region whilst enriching themselves. FAFO I think!
