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?

Silkworms are older missiles. Iran’s newer Chinese missile is called the C-802 Eagle Strike. It smaller, faster, and is hard to detect. Fired en masse, it could cost us a warship or two. However, if Iran did that we’d turn their missile batteries into scrap metal in short order. The greatest danger is from submarines. Iran has three Russian Kilo-class subs.
