I’m assuming these weren’t missiles built in 1920. They’d hit buildings. Nobody was in them?

There is a lot of open space within bases. Ramps, airstrips, and just plain open fields.
And no guarantee that someone won't be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Bottom line, you can't prove they were purposefully avoiding killing someone when the missiles impact inside the wire.

Did they actually impact inside the wire?

Are you assuming they have an infinite supply? How do they pay for them? What happens when they run out? Ya think maybe we know how many they have?

Next to your barracks.

Yeah, you can whisper to them and tell them where you want them to go, within reason. I'd have to assume that at this particular time we don't just have our people wandering throughout the entire premises. I think it's reasonable to believe that the Iranians could target a specific sector of a military base.

I don't know.
But even if they didn't, it doesn't matter. They took a shot at American servicemen. We are allowed to retort.

No you can’t prove it. But looking at their target sites and the minimal damage/casualties being reported, it’s reasonable to say they didn’t want to inflict mass casualties to US troops. There are much closer targets for that.

What does that have to do with it?

If they were indeed ballistic missiles, they were guided by gravity more so than by a computer.

Iran took out the Kiwi's Iraq position.
New Zealand's Otago Daily Times Defence force investigating claims NZ base has been hit
The Kiwi's left earlier today and moved to Kuwait and now the New Zealand Defense Force is reporting the Iranians hit the Kiwi's base.

It's also reasonable to say that their shite sucks and they missed due to the fact that they have inferior technology and personnel.

Seems unlikely

It seems very likely. Iran is no where near the level people think they are. If this were a video game, the United States would be maxed out at level 100 while the Iranians would be hovering down around level 11 or 12.

Iran took & concluded proportionate measures in self-defense under Article 51 of UN Charter targeting base from which cowardly armed attack against our citizens & senior officials were launched. We do not seek escalation or war, but will defend ourselves against any aggression.
Per Javad Zarif on the twitter machine. The “concluded” part is important. Tucker called it. All for show to say we responded.

So they fired on a base they knew was empty.
