Exactly that. Anyone with any aircraft experience will tell you if B-1s and B-52s are running missions then they are not concerned with air defenses.

Iran is a huge country . Mountain terrain with 90 million people.

We have a devasting force assembled but they will not be able to remove the regime with air power alone. They need the regular army to flip. If that doesn't happen be ready for mission creep.

This is going to be a mess.

So this guy who writes the article knows more than the military leaders who are saying we do have control by and large? 
Tell me why we would be using JASSM and JASSM-ERs instead of cheaper stuff if we did have complete air superiority. Is that ordinance like a gallon of milk in your fridge that will expire tomorrow, so might as well use it all up today?

They have achieved air superiority across most of southern and western Iran, but areas in eastern and northern Iran still have air defense capabilities in tact. And drone swarms are still being launched from various places across the country.

No, the US has not established air supremacy across Iran. Anyone who thinks they have just isn't paying attention.

Here’s How Much Aid the United States Has Sent Ukraine | Council on Foreign Relations
$164 billion
Since Russia’s February 2022 invasion, Congress has passed five major bills aiding Ukraine, which together amount to $164 billion in spending related to the war.* Some additional spending comes from regular annual budgets and a $20 billion loan.

Regular annual budgets of your tax dollars. Enjoy.

Apparently he did. But he is wrong. He is retired and is not a part of any of this. Also, CENTCOM officials describe it as localized air superiority. There's a difference in the terms and I think people may not understand the distinction.

How exactly is China supposed to get the equipment to Iran, and to who?

Because of the accuracy. It has more to do with where you are striking. The last thing we need is collateral damage. Iran's best defense much like hamas is propaganda to stir up dissent among civilians and other countries opposing these attacks. If we were concerned about air superiority we have other aircraft those munitions just no where near as many.

hezbollah has been fighting fiercely, thy repelled an invasion of IDF near the Syrian border and shot down a helicopter. The footage from that area is rough.

He said we’ve achieved air superiority, and went on to remark that one could make the argument that “air supremacy” has been achieved, but that was the extent of it. I certainly did not take his commentary to amount to a conclusion re: supremacy. Superiority? Yes, he was pretty definitive on that point.
