So no, this isn't Come on, man territory. Iran can flood the zone with missiles that cost $1-2M each (and drones that cost even less), and cause $50 billion worth of damage? It doesn't matter if you have a 99% success rate in knocking them down. They win that exchange.

Then we should just lay down our arms now and walk away. Because they hold all the cards and there's zero point.

It might indeed end up being in our best interests to enter into an agreement with them now, rather than endure the further disruption of global energy markets and the consumption of our own military resources that continued prosecution of the war will involve.

Exactly, just quit.
