The aim of Iran’s attacks last night was to show the price of hosting the United States to countries in the region

⁉Host: "What is your reaction to what U.S. Central Command described as an 'unexpected attack' by Iran?"

Rahm Emanuel, White House chief of staff during Obama’s time: "Iran wants all of America’s allies in the region, especially the Gulf states along the Persian Gulf, to pay for hosting the United States. Iran’s long-term goal has always been, since the revolution, to push the United States out of the Persian Gulf region.

Therefore, when you consider these developments in this context, it’s not surprising to me that Iran would carry out such an action on the very day that the Israeli prime minister is present in the Oval Office at the White House."
