Compare contrast vs Russia who also has a production capacity of 1500-2500 missiles a year but is also heavily diversified in weapons tech.
Russia 140m people. Iran 90m people.
Iran isn't that strong. It's just Israel is small and weak so it struggles to absorb missiles as a proper sized country like Ukraine.
