Iran Showers the Gulf with Missiles and Drones

Original version ·

Just when you thought the Middle East couldn't get any more chaotic, Iran decided to wake up its neighbors with a massive morning fireworks show.

On Sunday morning, while normal people were having coffee, Iran launched two waves of missile and drone attacks directly at Doha, the capital of Qatar. And they didn't stop there.

Air defense systems were working overtime across the region. Alarms went off in the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait. It seems Iran wanted to make sure absolutely nobody in the Persian Gulf slept in this weekend.

This is a massive escalation that basically drags the richest, most stable oil hubs of the Gulf directly into the line of fire. What used to be a proxy war or a series of threats has now landed right on the doorsteps of luxury resorts and financial centers.

Turns out, having endless billions of oil money doesn't protect the sky when the neighbor next door decides to lose their mind.
