Question on Iran. Didn’t the Chinese sell them some effective anti-ship missiles (silkworms?), recently? Would Iran use them in the event of a Coalition blockade?

Good question. IMHO, a blockade is different than a missile shot, in that the former is not necessarily an internationally excused reason for the latter, whereas the latter is a clear invitation to retaliation. If the brinksmanship leads Iran to fire a missile at a US ship, they lose, i think.
