That’s a 150x cost difference. Well within an order of magnitude of America versus Iran’s economies and defense budgets.

Which is irrelevant, since before this becomes a production problem it would become the diplomatic ones of bombing Houthi supplies in Yemen and intercepting IRGC vessels on the high seas.
