According to an Iranian arms exporter, the response was less severe than Iran anticipated, and a massive Iranian response would be a mistake.
Israeli hardliners criticised the “feeble” response

No plans for immediate retaliation

If Iran is willing to play it down (no damage was done, we can’t confirm the source, etc) to justify not escalating further, I’m all for it.

Seems like the norm might be shows of force like this between these two for a while. It doesn’t seem like either will back down, but it also doesn’t seem like war will happen, since Biden won’t sign off on a broader conflict in the region

Didn't hit anything it seems, just got hit in the air! I think they don't wanna escalate but needed to send sth to be able to boast about it in the TV. Same as iran, sending 350 almost expiring rockets, knowing they don't hit the ground, yet boast about it on TV and wasting 1b$ of their air defence ammo.
