“From what we can see now the missiles were targeted and hit specific structures,” @DaveSchmerler says.

This meshes with what @fab_hinz told me last night. “The Iranians are very proud of being able to target specific buildings.”
It would be a leap to say that Iran didn’t want to hurt any Americans. These missiles are deadly and their accuracy doesn’t always live up to the hype.

But if they can target buildings with aircraft or equipment, it’s worth asking why they didn’t target buildings with people.
