There has been no confirmation of the launch from Iran, but Iranian state media cited sources as saying that "secret Israeli bases" were targeted.

The attack came six days after two senior officers in Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps were killed in a suspected Israeli air strike near the Syrian capital Damascus. The IRGC had vowed to make Israel "pay for this crime".

They even admitted to firing the missiles

Iran’s economy is in deep deep, extremely deep trouble, they’re probably looking for war. Leadership is probably banking on return fire. I’m thinking the best thing to do is nothing. Let Iranian public support and the economy continue to crumble and not allow Iranian leadership to use retaliation as a means to rally the public.


From Oct 2020

“In its editorial on Sunday, the state-run Hamdeli daily wrote: “The government and other institutions of power do not make the slightest effort to address people’s demands. In fact, they are deliberately blocking the way of answering these demands.” The article continues: “The protests in 2018 and 2019 demonstrated the depth of people’s mistrust and how they are distancing themselves from main political streams, particularly the [so-called] reformists. Since then, there has been no plan which shows the least of the public’s trust in institutions of power and political factions. Every slogan and demand by these institutions meets with the absolute indifference and distrust by the majority of the people. The public’s mistrust of state television should be seen from the same perspective. This level of mistrust is a dangerous indicator.”
