They didn’t miss, they likely gave us a heads-up (via a neutral nation) because they didn’t’ want a war. .
They may have even set up Soleimani themselves, or at least accepted he was going to have to go after the attack on our embassy (and/or other plans discovered), and decided he was not worth getting Tehran firebombed over if they had taken out many of our troops.
which, it seems, if we didn’t have notice to send our troops to shelter, they might have.

They missed because
1. We had prior knowledge that our embassies around the region were next, after the attack on the Baghdad U.S. embassy, thanks to Israeli intelligence.
2. Sulemeini was killed for this reason—to show them there’s a new sheriff in town and thus to prevent or lessen their planned Stage Two.
The Iranians went through with their plans but because our bases were forewarned, and because they were warned of retaliation, the attacks were less harmful than expected.
This is why Trump et al. are saying, “Well, no, we didn’t exactly SEE the intelligence that our bases and embassies were going to be targeted.” Israel informed them.
Watch Amir Tsarfati and you will always know what happened and what is going to happen. He also told us of the Israeli strike on the Iranian precision-missile factory in Syria that happened a day or two later.
