Wait, did they actually hit anything important in that airbase or is the usual notify-evacuate-hit empty building clown show that Iran does to placate it's population?

Also, why did they hit Qatar? As far as I am aware Qatar didn't participate in the attacks against Iran. Does Iran really want to add the Gulf countries on its (long) list of enemies?

Qatar hosts the largest U.S. base in the region. Given that Iran's missiles can't reach the U.S., they have no other choice but to hit the territory of a third country to strike back.

Lots of countries host US bases. If Iran starts hitting countries which didn't involve themselves or let the bases get used in military operations against it, it will be surrounded by enemies very very quick

Let see if they dare bomb SA which hosts US bases as well lol

So far Iran is doing better than expected, given that they were taken by surprise by the Israeli attack. Both sides (Iran and Israel) are hurting, and both are trying to de-escalate without losing face. Of course, if the US mounts a concerted airstrike against Iran, they would be in much deeper trouble, but for various reasons, the US does not seem willing to go all out against Iran for the moment.

If the war starts to wind down, then Iran can count it as a win, and hopefully make wiser decisions in the future.

What makes you think Iran will fare any better against a full scale American attack? They have shown themselves to be pretty helpless so far

What else is there to hit that have not already been hit. They have lost top leaders, top industrial bases, universities. Anything of value has already been hit. US cannot do much more unless they want to bomb civilians.

Iran already paid the price, so they should make their opponents pay in a war of attrition. If they back down now, it's iran that has lost much more than the opponents.

Iran has nothing to lose now similar to the houthis. If they are steadfast they can force to US to back down and actually achieve victory.
