If it's indeed true that Iranians fired conventional ballistic missiles at U.S. targets, it would be unprecedented

#1 ..usually they use proxies in Iraq to shoot missiles for them since the Bush II era. Maybe no one in Iraq was available to answer the phone.

#5 what is perhaps unprecedented is that Iran took credit for the attacks in real time

e.g.,
in the case of the Saudi oil fields hit, Iran denied that they did it and claimed their Yemen proxies did it.

#6 Unprecedented might mean even Putin wasn't willing to sell missiles to Iran until Obama was President.
