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.

The Iranian Bavar-373 air defense system is the advanced version of Russian S-400, It uses three acquisition and engagement radars. With its sayyad-4B missiles able to engage targets beyond 300KM.
Whether stealth, multirole or whatever, any F-35 fighter jet within the Iranian airspace will not be returning to where it came from.
Since 2022, F-35s have never been given to Ukraine, even after countless requests from Zelensky. Well, US has been avoiding reputation damage that comes with F-35 being shot down in Ukraine.
It is what it is. F-35s are only good for dropping bombs on defenseless populations in places like Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen and Gaza.
If Israel was to launch a retaliatory strike on Iran, the only options available are ballistic and cruise missiles. Some of which will be intercepted anyway.
