Iran was planning a massive response, but Israel sabotaged them by blowing up the military command meeting and drone striking missiles sites. Instead of 300 Missiles launched in response it was only 100.
I doubt the full 300 would’ve done much tbh. Only like 7 of the 100 or so missles actually hit anything this time around. So if we triple the results for 300 missles, that’s only 21 hitting targets. Even if we become generous and assume an extra 7 hit anything to even the number of successful hits to 30, that’s still only a 10% success rate. Sure, 30 targets is way more impactful than 7, but that’s not exactly enough to even shock Israel, especially when you consider how weak the payload is on these missles.
Last time 300 missiles overwhelmed Israel’s defenses and they needed US and Jordanian support to take out most of the attack. Both sides learned from the last skirmish.
Countries do this in general because those projectiles are violating these countries’ sovereignty. Iran doesn’t ask these countries for permission to have their missiles go through their airspace, they just do it. No country is going to allow another country to endanger it’s people by sending through its borders without their consent, so they just take them down.
In this case, Jordan is under the protection of the US and they have American bases and use American systems. So when something like this happens, Jordan works in coordination with the US to take the missles over its borders.

You think Jordanians care more about an abstract concept of sovereignty than over their literal Palestinian brothers being genocided?
The king can use this excuse as much as he wants but we know it’s because of US pressure.
