Iran can't really target anything, they can just launch missiles at a city and hope it hits something strategically important. Should they attack Jerusalem, they're just as likely to hit the Dome of the Rock, which the Israelis would be overjoyed for as it would give them an excuse to replace it with a synagogue.

The hits on the refinery and power plant seemed accurate enough.
They're likely using a number of older and cheaper missiles for saturation attacks as well, but their ability to accurately strike high value targets has been demonstrated rather well.

I've seen it argued that they're just going though all their trash to overexert the missile defense systems and will start using the good stuff when it fails, and should that happen I'll happily eat crow. But for now it all sounds like cope, like the people who said Russia was going to curb stomp Ukraine in a month.

Allegedly Israel damaged a lot of entrances in the west of Iran where their more modern missles are stored, which could be another reason for using the older stuff.
But israel is essentially burning through all their air defences and won't be able to keep it up long.
Iran is now shooting missiles, their older ones, during the middle of the day with a good number still getting through while sending smaller volleys of 15-25. No longer is night and a volley of 200+ including the hypersonics needed to get through defences.
Take everything with a grain of salt, Israel is now under strict censorship so basically all the news coming from there now is total bs. And AFAIK Iran is locked down now too. And for the record I don't argue that point, I see people online claiming they're cowards or free speech, etc.. But they're at war, it makes complete sense and we'd do the same if missiles were raining down.

Quit pretending Iran is some kind of superpower. I'm enjoying the videos of shit blowing up in Tel Aviv as much as anyone else here, but I'm not delusional to think Iran has any chance of winning, even if the US stays out of it.

There are a lot of important holy sites to Christiantiy there too, you know. Glassing all of Jerusalem would not only draw ire from various sects of Islam, but would be grounds for a proper crusade.
> There are a lot of important holy sites to Christiantiy there too
A necessary sacrifice. What value does it have to Christians anyway as of now? The value of dealing with the jewish problem is by FAR much more important than some sites kikes have long defiled already.
1: Jerusalem is considered holy ground to Muslims too. Should they glass it, what remains of the Iranian government will have to deal with fanatic insurgents at best and outright war from Muslim nations at worst. Not to mention all the evangelicals jerking themselves are over the thought of kickstarting armageddon would be thrilled at demanding all out war.
2: "This footage shows that the missile entered the building next to the air defence system"
Yeah, ironically the Muslims have been doing the entire planet a favor by sitting on the ruins of Fort Antonia and inadvertently stopping the jews from building their fake third temple on it.
