Interesting there was no attempt to shoot down the missiles. Sounds like a back channel agreement to pound sand.

That is a bad assumption. Why shoot down a missile that is off target?

scroll down to "no serious consideration given to preemptive iran strike, official says"
updated 2:23 pm / January 8, 2020

it says: "there was no serious consideration given to launching a preemptive strike
to take out iran's missiles before they were launched, according to a defense official.
the u.s. did not have the capability to shoot down the incoming missiles tuesday night
because there are no patriot missile batteries in iraq."

"until the killing of general qassem soleimani, the mission was to defeat ISIS which has
no ballistic missiles."
