Confessing my own ignorance - why is Iran attacking Dubai in retribution for US/Israel attacks on Iran?

They're striking anything remotely related to the US or Israel because their ability to attack them directly is limited. The UAE is a US ally. Which is a sound strategy honestly.

Because there are US military bases in the 3rd countries being attacked

It's where a bunch of rich fucks who instigate and benefit from the war live and party.
