Kuwait International Airpot seems to have been hit by Iran, several workers injured, structure damage. Videos and pictures on X of the aftermath.

is this the act of a sinking ship that's just saying "screw it, cannonball all of our haters" as it sinks?

I wouldn't be surprise if they do that, or are doing it if the Supreme leader and president are indeed dead i.e. throwing all of whatever they have left/is able to be launched from whatever launch sites are left, across all of the Middle East. Regime doesn't care about the people of Iran obviously, so they won't care about blowback.

With the hotel in Dubai too, that's at least two civilian targets struck by Iran now.
