This comes after attacking US, French bases and civilian infrastructure in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE as well as their close friends and mediators in Qatar and Oman

Iran's communication specifically calls these bases foreign soil. and "reassures" the host countries that the attacks are not against them. In this case it would be UK soil.

These attacks feel like a last gasp of air before death. There is no strategy except to use the last remaining resources to inflict damage to wherever possible but obviously this is not a strategy that will lead to survival.

It's like a boss in a bullet hell game, shooting missiles in every direction.
