      Official tally. 181 missiles. Almost all intercepted. No injuries.

      Iran did it just for internal consumption then?

        From what I gather, these were a significantly higher level of threat than before, and no missile attack should ever be excused away because it was unsuccessful.

          I've read that Israel may try to decapitate Iran's leadership. They seem to be pretty meticulous in planning and being prepared before they act, so...

                    No, the U.S. Navy didn't intercept a bunch of missiles, but they did get a few.

                    Notice which destroyers engaged...

                          I don't see any evidence that Israel does for show operations. I don't think it will be anything as crude as lobbing missiles, but much more targeted.

                                  Again, I am astonished that the moderators on last night’s debate asked if the candidates would advise Israel against a preemptive strike against Iran. Preemptive? They’ve now had 2 separate strikes launched against them.
