From a military perspective I’m curious what benefit the Iranians thought they would gain attacking civilian targets in the UAE.
As for what comes next there are plenty of examples where the military phase was accomplished successfully but winning the peace is another matter.
answer is simple, if you have religious education- you don't have mathematics ( and related sciencies) education at required level.
That leads someone to top positions without proper knowledge.
So decesions that such persons brings are also inadequate ( read it stupid) .
To be smart- you need math, not "holly" books.
