I dunno, just the fact that this attack was correctly announced by USA/Israel on Twitter several hours before it happened and then the evac/personel protection plans were announced as well makes it look like a pointless flex understood on all sides. And Also, I'm hearing 0 casualties in Israel so far. For what Israel has done, even bombing Mossad headquarters killing everyone in it including Netanyahu would really only kinda even up the score. We'll see what they can do and we'll see how Israel responds.
if the 0 casualties claim is correct.

Easiest call ever made
they will just bomb some empty buildings, empty airbases etc

Iran going to phone US (we are going to bomb this, and this, and that), US then calls Israel (they will bomb this, and this and that), Israel evacuates personnel and equipment. Iran bombs (bypasses defences), Iranian fanboys flood social media (Iron dome defeated! New red line crossed without retaliation!)

Yawn, might as well as sleep through this theatre

Then why did they get involved in Syria to help the Assad dictatorship in suppressing the Syrian revolution?
they helped Assad against NATO funded and trained "moderate" headchoppers. not some pro democracy rebels.
Yes, it was good to see the Hezbollah expeditionary force operating effectively in Syria. That and the 2006 war against Israel were Hezbollah's finest hours.

I think Iran managing to strike military targets without causing any civilian damage is a good look for Iran and bad look for Israel

A militarily relevant question is how to conduct remote battle damage assessment (BDA) in uncooperative environments. This is particularly relevant in this conflict due to the long range standoff weapons used.

Didn't Iran launched one or two mil sats a few years ago? I wonder if they have good enough resolution. But then we're in an age every civilians can buy satellite photos from private provider, I hope we see some photos soon
