This would seem to suggest that Israel’s attack was neither minor as Iran had claimed but not devastating either as Israel had claimed.
If it was minor, Iran may just ignore it to de-escalate. If it was devastating, Iran would probably not want another exchange. Then again, my assessment may be completely off base.
IMO, Iran was expecting an Israeli response on par with what Iran actually hit in Israel and not what Iran targeted. Iran expected Israel to hit some rocks in the desert. Israel hit actual military targets and Iran is outraged. Iran cannot win this game.

They should stand down, I think pressing further is a fool’s errand. Not much to gain, but a lot to lose.
