The Iranians can hit Israel, despite Iron Dome and much greater distance, which suggests they weren't really trying with this one. But if they are signalling something, they must be doing so privately to Trump, in a way we can't read.

It has to be REALLY private. But in that case why even waste the missiles? An excuse to give the defending troops some live fire practice?

Could make sense as a way of testing US defences, preparatory to a larger attack. But that's too technical for me to assess.

Maybe, but they’ve seen Patriots before.

Of note: the rumor attributed to the UK embassy was that there WAS going to be a second wave…

Also I do think you’re right and they are signaling privately. And I wonder what the signal is that’s being received.
