It was a total of 14 missles, and 13 were knocked down. Also apparently Iran told both Qatar and the US that they were going to do this so they did have advanced notice.
Iran is clearly signaling that they're willing to concede fighting back if the US accepts these performative strikes as deescalation. This is Iran's go to when they get pressed. They did something similar when Israel killed Haniyeh in Tehran and when Trump killed Soleimani.
Iran is likely indirectly accepting Trump's poor attempt at not fanning the flames further.

He just held a press release stating:
"Seriously guys, time for peace starting.... Now!"
