It's also daytime. A possible explanation is that the Iranians are waiting til nightfall for better safety of their TELs.

Yeah, even from the statements coming straight from this Trump clownish administration itself, you can tell what their real goal was and how much they dread and want to avoid a long conflict with Iran (especially now, I presume). So I wouldn’t be overly worried about Iran collapsing on its own outside of surprise attacks like this one (busted, the regime learned its lessons), or about this automatically turning into World War 3. This is what I anticipated from the last time in 2025. The US-Israel not only failed at that time, but also acted as pressure that forced the regime to adapt, evolve, and get more organized. And now, the US & Israel will pay some actual, far bigger lesson most likely, and not get out so 'free'.
That and I think that they are trying to exhaust interceptors with first with older missiles.
TELs are no issue and they started of with their newest missiles Khaibar Shekan/Fattah-1 in small sized salvos to increase hit probabilty. They are in it for the long run instead of burning it all at once.
They are showing signs of having adapted, but time well tell.
Apprantly AN/FPS-132 (UEWR) radar, was removed which is the USA's main UHF sensor over Iran. Now just space based sensor which provides less granular long ranged sensor tracks. Super preliminary but Iran's response has been much better. I wonder if they have hit the main AN-TYP 2 sites yet. Anyone with more domain knowledge on this region, which bases are they hitting and do they correlate with most important US sensor nodes in region?
And at the same time their drones/fighters are still flying without impunity in Iranian skies though:
That's not it.
That is another radar system in Qatar (25°42'24"N 51°15'16"E), not the one destroyed by shahed in Bahrin (26°12'25.11"N 50°36'35.34"E) which looks like a sat uplink
