So what would you need to take out F-35s, realistically? And what would be the most cost-effective method? I thought Iran would take at least a couple pot shots at them, but it doesn't seem that was the case.
Also what about B-2s?

dense coverage of bistatic radars, resilient C3 and missiles with a good seeker
none of that is realistic for Iran

The same Iran that can't do shit to keep the Israeli Air Force out of the sky over Iran?

There's not a lot you can do, you basically need either large arrays of multistatic radars in such high density that they can't be easily destroyed without a lot of time, or you need a shitload of distributed IR sensors with IR missiles scattered among a ton of platforms which isn't realistic for a country larger than something like Kosovo. The IR path is probably the most realistic and cost effective, but you'd be limited to having enough to put on likely routes of ingress, and you would be very exposed to attack after firing once since the F-35's DAS can detect the IR of a missile launch at very long ranges

Unironically your best bet is to try and spiderweb them on the ground
Tangling with panthers in the air is a losers game by default

My absolute goy they couldn't even do anything about Israeli F16s and their support tankers There's footage of them refuelling in Iranian airspace.
