Iranian politics is smart , they are engaging the regional powers on the discussions to keep them close to the Iranian political views .
They are continuously communicating with Turkey ,Egypt and Saudi Arabia , these countries will not give permission to US to use their assests or land/air for any aggression over Iran .

Hezbollah strike gathering of Zionists soldiers with two Ababil class suicide drones. Zionist entity confirmed attack and announced multiple injuries among their rank.

It seems like we are all just witnessing the Zionist propaganda falling apart. It is an extraordinary event proving the changes to the world, first of all.
What we do know now, is a high probability that both Jews and westerners hyped the scale of the attack, to hide the miserable effects of the best AD in the world. As we can deduct now, that Iranians might have used 1/5th of the claimed numbers - yet scoring tens of direct hits. It turned out, that the bulk of the striking force consisted of old, or even very old means. They have spent missiles that were to be disbanded anyway - this might indicate claimed number of missiles that didn't worked as planned. The 20+ year old ones?
Last but not least, Iranians put a lot of effort into avoiding collateral damage and civilian casualties - which clearly makes them look way different rather than Zionists onslaught on Gaza.
People really, really DO mark that difference.
This is a clear indication of how the global reaching alternative media changed the world's perception. Scenes played on a green wall with plastic palms in the background won't work anymore - yet they still try!

The Iranians themselves seem surprised how effective their missiles were... as you said, they launched some older missile types, presumably to test Israeli defences... they had plenty of time to prepare.
Still even the older missiles got through in a low level attack on targets that Israel wont see as critical.
If Israel responds to this I suspect the Iranians will say they are escalating and we all know where escalation ends so we have to do them serious damage or they will keep attacking us claiming it is self defence. An Israeli attack that gets defeated and lots of new planes (like F-35s and inflight refuelling tankers) get shot down would be the ideal solution for Iran but they could easily respond to any Israeli attack with ballistic missiles and drones and cruise missiles.
I rather suspect the Israelis wont risk sending aircraft because they wont get overflight permission anyway, so perhaps a cyber attack or an attack by sub launched missiles maybe.
I understand Israels need to talk big because it appears they are not as big as they pretend to be and their major allies... the EU and US are being put in their place in Europe too.
Maybe the days of using force and dictating terms to everyone are over for the US and Israel.... which is a good thing for the region and the world.
They keep on going on about the potential of Israel, but really they are supported by US handouts and gifts... for its future when the US is not able to support them Israel is going to have to find other ways to earn a living.

The Iranian drones , were simply Radar distractions , as the Iranians have said . They may have removed the warhead to increase range and loitering time . This explains why no video of drone impacts in Israel or SAM interceptions . Only one video of interception by plane exist ? We should have seen multiple drone impacts ? And you make good point too .

Not sure if you have noticed one absurd out there. With the all probability highly inflated missiles number given by no other than Israel, is being used for two types of narrative right now. The first one, was to pretend a high interception rate, because even if we can see a two-three dozens of hits with our own eyes, it makes a difference if those are made by 350 or 50 missiles. The difference is principal. But for a while, there is a new one emerging. Of how using 350 missiles in overreaction (!). It is "escalation" that makes the fact that it has been provoked by a clear act of aggression against the Iranian consulate "irrelevant". Both Sunak and Cameron claimed that absurd already in public, in both BBC and the British parliament. Unbelievable!
