22. My guess Iran to keep its population appeased will fire some missiles now but they will use older ones that suck.

Why? Because I do not think the ones in charge there really want a full scale war but because they have to save face as well keep their population from thinking their weak they have to do something.
Then they can say "See, we are strong and can strike at Israel any time we want."
Meanwhile the ones in charge in Israel can tell their people "See we are strong and can protect you!!"
In other words its the same shit as decades ago.
