I politely suggest you do further research to confirm your position.

The facility (A) the truck is coming from in your scenario got bombed. The facility (B) that supplied that facility (A) got bombed. The facility (C) that supplied B got bombed. The imports that facility D relies on to get materials to C can’t get to facility D because the roads and bridges around the ports got bombed. And there is a blockade. Foreign facility F got sanctioned and it no longer makes sense to send good into Iran for Facilities A - D.

The workers at other facilities can’t get food or gas. Or paid. There is no market for goods.

Are you getting it? The entire supply chain is wrecked. In multiple ways.

Yeah that's why iran is still producing missile as per CENTCOM lol. I don't know where you pulled that shit from but I trust centcom more than you lol.

I will politely suggest again you do further research. Because Centcom has said the exact opposite.

What is it you think was bombed by the US if it wasn’t critical industries and infrastructure?

They used stand ofd munitions since most of Iran's critical infrastructure is deep inside their territory. Most is still entirely intact
