Retaliating with conventional military in Lebanon would’ve been an endless GWOT scenario. Should we have done more than we did? Yes.
Reagan did launch Operation Praying Mantis - sink every Iranian vessel that floats.

Operation Praying Mantis was a farce, and the U.S. had no business engaging it that kind of nonsense in the region. The kindest thing I can say about it is that it happened late in Reagan’s second term and he was probably marginally more lucid than Biden is right now.
