Another thing I am inclined to conclude at this early stage is, notwithstanding all the "sound and fury" of this Iranian missile strike, there was very likely only one serious target: the Nevatim airbase. And they appeared to be "digging deep" — probably against a bunker.
 It remains to be seen how damaging Iran's ballistic strikes have been against the Israeli airbases. But my tentative sense of things — so far — is that this was a "demonstration en force".
Also it's important to note that since this is Iran's first direct large scale attack on Israel from Iranian soil, it doesn't really matter if the attack fails or is blunted, because it will be a large learning experience with Iran studying all the defensive capabilities of the Israeli faction/West and calibrating them all for next time. This is new territory for Iran, it will study and learn the vulnerabilities exhibited--what worked, what didn't--and the next strike can/will be far more effective if Israel continues its provocations.
From what Zerohedge reports Biden saying to Bibi, ie quit while you’re ahead and we won’t have your back if you retaliate, perhaps Zhou isn’t underestimating Iran either…we can only hope…
“You got a win. Take the win," Biden told Netanyahu, according to the official.
The official said that when Biden told Netanyahu that the U.S. will not participate in any offensive operations against Iran and will not support such operations, Netanyahu said he understood.”
Everyone who thinks Israel can "nuke" Iran. Well, Iran can nuke Israel too: Iran's ballistic missiles can wipe out Dimona nuclear plant in about 8 minutes, totally irradiating Israel. Nuclear plant waste is far more radioactive than the relatively 'clean' modern nuclear weapons.
Am I understanding it correctly that they are radian attack was in response to an attack by Israeli Air Force strikes in Lebanon and Syria, and one of those strikes hit the Iranian embassy there and killed people. Are we getting the straight information on exactly why Iran launched this drone attack?
Iran’s mission to the UN says that the Iranian missile and drone attacks against were in response to the strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus and adds that “the matter can be concluded.”
Nevatim Airbase is home to F-16a and F-35s.

Israel’s largest and most hardened airbase.
And, I would bet, with the best AD they have.

Will the Israelis escalate? Hard to say.
But I remain dubious the US will jump in.

Yeah i was going to suggest an intelligence based attack for future reference. I’m sure, again at Russia’s advice.
Don't underestimate the Iranians.

BREAKING: Initial reports of an attack on U.S. forces at Erbil International Airport in northern Iraq as well as Al-Asad airbase in western Iraq.
My understanding is that Erbil would be in the Kurdish zone. Al Asad:

That is correct. But this is far more than a drone attack, if reports are accurate.
Canadian state sponsored news must be censoring Middle East news.
Same here in UK.
