By suggesting that this attack was real, but was thwarted by a collective defense, means that there is no need for the Israelis to retaliate because they already “took the win” as Biden supposedly told Netanyahu. In other words, be satisfied with how you handled led this with our help but don’t get cocky and try it again anytime soon.
That Jordan (who shot down some of the missiles) agrees that Iran gave warning, I think it’s clear that Iran wanted to retaliate without escalating. Israel saying we’ll reply when we’re ready feels like they’re happy to draw a line under it for now.
Why would you think they weren’t expecting that? Saudi Arabia and Iran have been rivals forever. That’s what their whole proxy war in Yemen is/was all about.

Good to also add Saudi Arabia who also participated. This must have irked Iran.
