The big question is how will Israel respond to the missile attacks.
The IDF will not let this go.
They don't think this missile attack is the equivalent of a guy punching you in the arm. -sounds more like a jab in the face if we are using hand to hand combat analogy.
If the Iranians think that Israel is gonna let this go with just some verbal threats, they are gonna be mistaken.
It's up to the Americans to talk to the Israeli PM and his security cabinet in order to determine what kind of military response would be adequate enough to respond to Iraq without escalating the conflict even more.
CNN:
Miller echoed National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan in stating the US will coordinate with Israel on its response to the attack on Israel, calling it “a significant escalation.” He also pledged that there would be consequences.
“Of course there must be consequences for Iran for this attack. We’ve made clear that there must be consequences. I’m not going to get into what those consequences are today, but they are things on which we will be coordinating with our Israeli counterparts,” Miller said at a press briefing Tuesday.

The US/Israel have been chomping at the bit for decades now to have a full-scale war with Iran, they just haven't had the political equity to have that supported by the public (hence blaming everything under the sun on Iran).
The reason I refer to their little missiles as a punch in the arm is because it is just that. Those missiles for the most part will be completely intercepted and destroyed by the iron dome, Iran knows full well their little volley will result in little to no damage on Israel.
This is all to save face to not appear weak doormats. Israel is doing everything within their power to goad them into doing something foolish to allow them to kick off a war, that's as clear as day.
They're like a school bully pushing a weak kid hit them back, once that kid hits back, it gives the bully every opportunity to then knock his head off.
