I think Iran recognized from the very beginning that this war will last at least as long as the iraq invasion by the usa thus they used their ammunition accordingly to last longer to keep causing damage, unlike gulf states and to some extent USA who depleted all their defensive and offensive(usa) missile stockpiles in the first couple of months of war and gcc puppets were not even part of the war to begin with
for missiles to reach tel aviv they first have to fly over usa puppet states in gcc who were more than happy to shot them down, sometimes i think these gcc countries do more to defend israelies than even the israelies, they needed a good beating to knock sense into them.
most of the usa bases in the gcc countries had patriots and thaads paid for by gcc, no? instead of defending their own countries they were used to defend israel, where were these state of the art air defence systems when israel unloaded LORA missiles on their capital doha just last year despite qatar acting as the de-facto hq of centcom?
You've said this several times. Theoretically absolutely spot on - I agree. But practically, firing all missiles at Israel while all those lovely radars are up in the intervening Arab nations, om American bases, and on NATO airborne monitors, all of which are providing an early warning shield to Israel - is called pissing in the wind. Iran had to target these peripherals first....and probably still has to, before then depleting the interceptors, before finally being able to strike. In a round-about way, Tel Aviv's multilayered defence (the bits actually provided by everyone but Israelis) works well.
Well, then the massive immediate response becomes a limiting factor, as some have inferred. Israel will eventually rebuild with phull sapport. Who will even be able to help Iran rebuild following a massive conventional series of strikes on commercial /life sustaining infrastructure targets?
