Many of those Iranian missile launchers are on a mobile platforms. They are also extremely spread out so that taking them all down is impossible. Israel is estimated to have spent $1 billion in just one day taking down those cheap Iranian drones. That’s not counting US and NATO contributions in taking these things down. The US took down 50% of them. That’s not sustainable in the long run. Keep in mind this was a somewhat limited Iranian attack. It was designed to show their capability to put their ballistic missile wherever they want. We would run out of anti-missile deterrents long before Iran runs out of missiles.

🇺🇲🇮🇱 U.S., NOT ISRAEL, SHOT DOWN MOST IRAN DRONES AND MISSILES
More than half of the Iranian drones and missiles that were downed were in fact shot down by the U.S. Navy and Air Force, and Israel would likely have struggled tremendously without direct U.S. intervention – U.S. Officials

Again, you are thinking tit for tat.
The tactics of the west are overwhelming force, across a wide swath of the enemies command and control, strategic forces, air forces, and navy.
Considering that Isreal has the newest generation systems compared to Iran’s dated air forces and navy…that part of any attack will not take long. It would take longer to find the air force as it runs to Turkey or India than it will take to ground them.
The systems for communicating to the missile command will be down in the first minutes. The ability to make a coordinated counter attack will be destroyed in the first few minutes.
Air defenses will be destroyed in the next few minutes.
The biggest challenge facing the IDF Air Force will be refueling their jets to get to Iran.
Sure, Iran may have thousands of missiles…but they have to “come out” to launch. They have been under constant observation for weeks. The IDF knows exactly where most of them are at any given moment.
Your theories are OK, but you are making some assumptions about the survivability of the “systems” Iran uses. I am not so optimistic. Iran shouldn’t want to engage with a modern military.
