All Iberian men were wiped out by Yamna men 4,500 years ago, according to David Reich.

The original reference is newscientist, but it is under pay wall.
However, I believe that current Iberian populations do not have too much Yamna contribution. How is that?
1. Very few Yamna women went to Iberia, so even though all Iberian men were wiped out, women remained, and they gave their genes to their descendants
2. There were other peoples that arrived later to Iberia, and gave other genes
Are two possibilities. Which are the right ones?
... and just amazing the Yamna were able to completely wipe out all men in a big region. Violence? Diseases?
