I never created a strawman, I just showed yours and asked you to see how wrong it was and admit it. Something you still haven't done.
I'm glad you agree that Bahrain is the headquarters of the 5th fleet. Now that we have that fact nailed down lets revisit.
Bahrain US 5th fleet.
US attacked Iran first.
And there is still no reason for Iran to attack Bahrain? None at all?
Personally the attack on civilians was wrong but I would not say that they have no reason. Their entire country was attacked not by one country but by two. Me not agreeing with their reason and claiming that they have none are two wildly different things. Imagine if I claimed that Israel had no reason to attack all of the civilians in Gaza? That would be wrong right? They had a reason I just think it was 100% wrong. Wouldn't me claiming that they had no reason just invalidate everything that happened on Oct 7th? If you can see that then you can see why I said what I said.

Attacks were launched against Iran from bases in these countries. The Iranian attacks are either on U.S. bases or artemisia1 Mar 8 #71
