I guess the US marines are also operating the Saudi oil facility and French base on their time off

Their actual current explanation is that they can't control their armed forces

I was talking about the explanation for hotels only.

The general strategy makes a lot of sense for a desperate regime: Instead of striking Israel(densest AA network in the world, long flight path so lots of time to intercept) they will force US to expend AA material all over theater and make US allies question credibility of defense. It's not like only hitting Israel or US will improve their reputation.
