There are some on YouTube that are questioning whether Iran truly fired missiles at US bases in Iraq or whether it was all a show. It is thought that perhaps Iran does not want to cross the USA and President Trump, but also do not want to appear weak to their people and that is why Iran made it look like they attacked the US bases.

It would be easy to dismiss these claims as fringe, but they might have a point. Missiles usually do create a larger blast crater, although it is possible for a crater to only be around 2 meters in width.
Here are some articles and pictures of actual missile blast craters:
