Thank God for the US Military, because Iran could have completely destroyed the Middle East economic wise. Watch this video to get an idea of how Dubai went from the fastest growing economy to a ghost town once missiles started flying, and why their system fostered abandonment within days, turning decades of growth into the world's greatest abandonment crisis in history. No bomb shelters caused all the rich to leave and even leave their pets behind, as flights out went as high as $300k per seat. These ME countries really made a big mistake not letting their airfields be used by the US Military.
