Iran did exactly what it told the U.S. and Israel in advance what it was going to do (below is the article from The Financial Times which is behind a paywall). This was calibrated to show only a reaction to the illegal attack by Israel on the consulate in Damascus. Iran specifically targeted nothing but military targets and used easily shot down, at a hugely expensive cost, drones and lesser missiles. That being said, Iran did commit apparently a few of its hypersonic missiles which evaded all Israeli air defense and hit the Nevatim air base. Iran, seeking to avoid, as it has all along, a war that would drag the U.S. in, is giving Israel the opportunity to stand down. Israel and its stooges are allowed to crow all they want about shooting down those throwaway assets Iran committed if it stops the escalation.
Again, if this were a determined Iranian attack, why on earth would they tell everyone involved with what, when and where the “attack” would occur?

Because they were scared shitless Israel would strike back twice as hard.
You live in your own reality. Entertaining though.
1. Slow-moving 44 pound warhead drones are the easiest-hit, least damaging, lowest explosive yield weapon fired yesterday. Missiles, particularly ballistic missiles, are not "lesser missiles" - they are faster, more precise, and have far higher payloads and are far more expensive.
2. So, where and when did the Iranians announce that they would be "only firing on military targets in Israel"? Were they speaking about their Houthis and Hezbollah buddies who were firing up a storm last night too? I saw interceptions taking place over Jerusalem - and are there "military targets" there?
I was kind of hoping they'd hit the Dome of the Rock.
3. Hypersonic missiles? Really? As far as anyone knows the Iranians don't have them. Only the Russians, the Chinese and maybe us.
4."Israel and its stooges?" Not at all biased/antisemitic, are you?
5. If we had an actual president and an actual Nation Security Council and Military leadership, this would have the perfect opening to finally take out their known nuclear and ballistic missile fabrication sites and cut the head off the snake before they a have nuclear weapon employment capability - or are you hoping that they get them?
It’s you again, hardfxxxed! To provide us not only with you wisdom on all things Ukraine, but on Israel vs Iran, as well. Getting paid twice?
*Illegal* attack? Is there a law that prohibits attacks on embassies?
And are you going to condemn Iran’s attacks on embassies over the years? Or just show your anti-Semitism and condemn anyone who fights back against islamists.
