Look at the missile prices in the article,

Price isn't the issue at hand, replacement of used assets is. It will take months or even years to replace stockpiles used last night. Even that assumes there is no arms embargo from our professional war losing congresscritters.

“Price isn’t the issue at hand, replacement of used assets is. “

If I recall, Israel is coproducing the missiles. I worked for Tadiran which was, at the time, the Israeli equivalent of GE. If the Israeli government decides, the Israeli production capacity will go to full auto. The holdup would be those items that are US only or limited by the ability of some supplier. Isarel will find substitutes. (They’ll just reverse engineer and steal the IP. Watched them do that.)

But here’s the issue. This will take time. Iran has demonstrated what they might be able to do. The other solution for the Israelis is to take out the Iranian capacity to build weapons while the Israelis work on replacement capacity. This can be done by, direct action, covert action, sabotage or convincing the Iranians that diversity is the key to defeating Israel.
