They only attacked countries that host US bases, correct?

  > 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.

    Iran has said it was not them. So far Iran has been quite conscientious about taking responsibility of the targets they have hit or attempted to hit. Israel on the other hand has a history of not being so.

      > Iran has said it was not them 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.)

        Your [1] and Iran's claim that it did not target Azerbaijan can both be true. 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.
