I think that "air superiority" thinking is part of what's changed.

USA/Israel forces have air superiority over Iran. That doesn't stop Iran being able to fly drones or missiles.

It does stop Iran from being able to launch a huge number of drones and missiles.

That they were able to launch >0 after losing air superiority is a testament to how much work is in the last mile.
