Yes , serbia also barely had an airforce something like 10-15 mig 29s and there were 500-800 NATO planes flying sorties , but the point is it could not be busted , and an airbase is different than missile base as planes still need runways , and them flying those 10-15 migs against NATO force was not much point
The most impresive Iranian missile base is like US concept where missiles are fired under cover trough hidden and protected shafts , and if one gets blown next one can be used .
Like said underground bases have good track record in withstanding bombardment and folks that build them generaly planed for them being attacked so exits are designed for that.

Simple reason why US getting involved it not quite as risk free as folks think , there are 40,000 to 50,000 US military personnel stationed in the Middle East , many much closer than Israel , also unlike Israel those bases do not have layers of AD and air raid shelters like Israel has , so if all out shooting starts this could get dicy real fast. There are many more short to medium range missiles than long range ones they are lobbing at israel , also shit load of drones that were so far not used en masse. Ground invasion of Iran is more or less out of the question terrain is not like Iraq.
Technical superiority goes right down to zero when your magazine is empty (AD missiles used up at vociferous rates by Israel and Ukraine far in excess of yearly production.)
