Iran US relations: Tehran demands the release of frozen assets upfront and adds Yemen conditions following the collapse of a prior agreement, hardening its stance against Washington in the ongoing Middle East conflict.
The US depends on friendly bases around Iran to refuel, reload, and launch their bombers. Iran used drones to overwhelm the air defense systems and put the bases out of service. Iranian drones are cheap, and American interceptors are extremely expensive.
Iran’s use of drones is what tipped the equation and made it a war of attrition instead of just a one sided endless bombing campaign.
It changes the playing field, not makes air superiority obsolete.

OK, yeah, I can definitely see your argument there.
