#3 If un-fired, they're just a gift to the "Pirates".
If you can't guarantee they're used as needed (Fired AT the pirate), that's just a huge waste.

Vewry Intehwesting comments.

The USDOD is expanding the USN Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain, which IMO infers that, in the absence of anti-US Regime Change in same, they are aware that Bahrain will Target #1 during a US-Iran shooting war in the Persian Gulf per se. DITTO AS PER USDOD MULLING FOR THE US PRESENCE IN KUWAIT [MilTechs/MilSys, notsomuch Troops], WID KUWAIT AKA TARGET #2 IN THE PERSIAN GULF THEATER. In addition, Iran appears to be overly confident they can close the Strait of Hormuz + limit the US CVNS, Gator Boyz + Allied to the Sea of Oman/Arabian Gulf + beyond.

* TOPIX > COMBINED MARITIME FORCES: US's GLOBAL NAVAL FORCE IN THE ARABIAN GULF. All but one are either US-NATO per se, or else Partner or in working Mutual Cooperation wid NATO.

Iran's gotta know they may be shooting at Muslim Navies, not just the US-NATO.
