you attribute too much value to air combat in a strategic war against a foe with long range missiles. iran isn't afghanistan, they hit military targets with precision in their demonstration with less than <1% of their arsenal. in 2 minutes of bombardment, israel depleted its entire air defense and the us needed to step in and spend billions assisting the counter measures. no consider that iran has enough missiles to do that all day, every day, for 3 days straight. iran can absolutely mad israel off the map if israel wants to play the "bomb to to the stone age" game. the fact that the iranian strike was never retaliated against and was simply memory holed is all the proof in the world.
