To be fair, Iranian air defences were awful at countering non stealthy Israeli aircraft as well.

The stealth bombers were just the most convenient vehicle for carrying the massive bomb.

Open-source reporting has Israeli F-35s kicking the door down on the Iranian IADS. Strong data point as to their effectiveness when properly employed as compared to some of the woo-woo airshow fanboying over things like bistatic radar.

As always, the side who can best maximize the capabilities of their platforms while hiding/compensating for their limitations is the one who will win.
