well , here its not limited and the target is visible on-time for the mission control to decide .Not every cruise missile. Tomahawk/Babur class of Cruise Missiles have albeit limited 'loiter capability'. They can hang around the targer for a limited period, depending on fuel and mission requirements. Both Raad & Babur have inbuilt self destruction capability should they go off course or the target is no longer green and missile can't be left for enemy to have access to.
there is a lot of difference when FLIRs enter the equation .
iran also has Ya-ali cruise missile with the same capability , but that was not enough for these special missions .
you don't fire a cruise missile at a Armed vehicle for example ! but when a VIP is in an armed vehicle , the same drones can be used to wipe them out
