The interception rate is what allows Biden to tell Israel not to reply with force. This is retaliation for Israel's embassy bombing a week ago. More retaliation would provoke even more retaliation. So a high interception rate is about the best we could hope for here. Iran gets to claim they struck back. Israel gets to put the matter to rest. We all get to live one more day. Maybe not two more days, because they will continue to provoke each other. But for the moment, it's not escalating.
