1000  Its not "try to miss" its that they WERE NOT BALLISTIC MISSILES from Iran! Ballistic missiles cost so much to use, that they do not ever miss. PROVEN FAKE hours ago! very very LOCAL line of site minor rockets missed the base, and landed short or long , but iran claimed that they were from outer space and BALLISTIC missiles fired ridiculously far away and lied. They lied to their nation on Iranian TV for half the day, but now got caught with countless fake imagery and fake videos : LOOK YOURSELF! : "The image of the attack tweeted by Iran's Fars News Agency is actually a picture they gave to news agencies in 2017 when Iran struck ISIL targets in Syria" : https://files.catbox.moe/297x6k.pdf Amusingly.... USA gov hours ago claimed NO damage to two bases and NO casualties but oddly agreed BALLISTIC missiles FROM iran where used (when in reality they were light truck mounted local line of site rockets). Ballistic missile would NOT miss by more than 150 feet! And with satellite crypto-coded laser marker, 10 feet, and with GPS 15 feet. Too much money is in the design of a space descent Ballistic missile. They do not miss, and must hit concrete coverdomes of nuclear targets. Plus the rockets two days ago were also from light pickup trucks (Katyusha), the same rocket design used in every war (they fire 10 to 20 rockets in a salvo). Katyusha : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyusha_rocket_launcher So basically, NO damage to the targets, NO deaths within the target two bases, and rockets missed the bases and fell short or long. The US gov agreeing with IRAN that they were ballistic missiles is an oddity, because clearly they are not ballistic missiles, but just very short range line of site Katyusha truck rockets.  Why? Saving face for Iran's sake? War aversion? Why would US let Iran get away with brazen lies to its public? SAVING FACE DIPLOMACY The US is letting them blow off a little saving face, preventing actual escalation. I think it will be of little help, but whatever. It is provably odd, now that Iran TV was proven lying in the past few hours in https://files.catbox.moe/297x6k.pdf
