Iran's strikes on Gulf countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Jordan are a carefully calculated overt move!

Israel is protected by the U.S. Iron Dome, making it difficult for Iran to strike effectively. A full-scale attack could give the U.S. a direct excuse to intervene, while the UAE and Saudi Arabia are the Middle Eastern backyards of the U.S. dollar oil system. Attacking these places could force the U.S. to choose between protecting Israel and supporting all Middle Eastern allies.
In this conflict, the innocent victims are Pakistan and Indian migrant workers, as well as ordinary citizens in Jordan and the UAE, who become casualties in the great power game.
