Iran is no US, but it doesn't need to be, because US cannot use everything it has on Iran.
The US does not need to use everything it has to penalize Iran.
Let's assume that Iran has a total of 3,000 individual military targets for the US to bomb.
500-800 total fighters
300-500 USAF fighters
150-300 USN/USMC fighters
50 USAF bombers
Within the total fighters deployed, the following are available:
120 F-22A
410 F-35A
160 F-35B
80 F35C
600 aircraft flying 300 sorties per day could total a 14-day strategic air bombing campaign, thus generating 150 sorties per day for this purpose with the rest of the sorties for refueling, in total, in a 14-day campaign, 2,000 sorties launching +4,000 JASSM against Iran. This does not even include the sorties of bombers (B-1B, B-2A and B-52H) which average around 20 JASSM. About 50% of all sorties would be by REVO aircraft, as evidenced in 2003, when 268 REVO aircraft flew 9,064 sorties, totaling 44% of the 20,733 of all sorties of the air campaign.
The inventory:
5,500 JASSM/ER
5,000 Tomahawk
500-700 SLAM-ER
37,800 SDB
6,300 Stormbreakers
5,900 JSOWs
650,000 guided bombs

As we can see, this does not even represent 50% of the total strength of the US aerospace power.
