Now that this has been seen, new measures and strategy will be done. Iran has been a pain in the ass since I started flying in th Army back in 75 with the hostages a couple years later.
The purpose of sanctions is get the people to uprise against their own government. Iran is saying if you don't slack off, we will continue. Remember the Libya Airstikes back in 2011?
I think once this puzzle has been put together, we'll turn on the news one morning to see a repeat in Iran.

This event creates more questions than answers. Is Iran getting desperate due to sanctions? The sanctions have greatly reduced income. The "oil hit" was probably a calculated move to drive up prices as they can only get so much oil out of the country ( thanks to china for buying their oil --assholes)
Were the missiles and drones iranian design or chinese ( or other country/ russian) ? They just had a real world test flying into SA air space.
We have another carrier group ( minus the aircraft carrier ) heading to the area. Maybe a massive swarm of missiles and laser guided missiles to retaliate?
Maybe supply a friendly country with armorment to do the hit? Israel doesn't want them to get too close to atomic weapons.
Also, Libya quieted right down after we stuck a cruise missile into gaddafi's bedroom window.
