Seems to me Iran proved that no one can take them seriously if their idea of a response was to send those random pathetic missiles that they must have known Israel could shoot down. Iran knows Israel have wanted to attack at a larger scale for decades, and were stopped during the Obama admin (2012-15) with a nuclear treaty, which was cancelled turing Trump's admin (2017-18) so that Israel could attack at will. Now Iran responds in this pathetic way, knowing what's likely to happen - more attacks from Israel, which continue years of smaller attacks against Iran. Whatever Israel does, the US will unfortunately be considered part of it, naturally. Non-government Iranians - the 99% - don't want this, though they would suffer the most.

One person commenting on BBC News from Israel said that previously "Jews" did not have the military capablity to "defend themselves" [by attacking Iran], but now they do, and they should attack [more than they normaly do]. So the Israel right wing see this as something for all Jews, something Israel needs to do. /u/Smalls provides in the chat/subscribed this list of the previous attacks.

If it's really 99%, the US should just drop massive amounts of weapons over Iran from space such that a civil war breaks out and new leadership will appear.
