"suspected iranian drone" and "unclear if that was the intended target" both written in that short article. Not sure if that's the gotcha you think it is.
Why can't that be an American/Russian/Israeli/whatever drone trying to stirr a war?
I understand it's there right but isn't it a better strategy to focus on attacking Israel? I doubt those cowards Arab leaders will do any real pressure on the USA even when Iran retaliate on them
They're being very restrained honestly. Missile attacks against Israel and local bases are bare minimum response. They have the funds and people to do serious unconventional warfare damage.
Yes and no. Technically yes, but practically no. There has been a lot of unrest and the majority of the people are not willing to fight for this regime. So if Iran were to go all out against Israel or the US with the people and means they have, the popular protests would make it impossible to keep that going very quickly.
It's like the queen being pinned to the king in chess. You can't move it because that would actually be worse.

The US and Israel are targeting schools while Iran targets military bases.

Because its visually and audio confirmed as a Sahed drone.
Only Russia uses and they are too far away.
Also what intended target is in a city. Those drones have a accuracy of about 3m.

WHY do you Think it's APPROPRIATE to Attack US Military Bases AFTER they Bombed a Bunch of Children in your Country?

I didn't say all out, I said unconventional. Facing the US military head on is just suicide with more steps. Iran has a lot more options.
