#2 Unlikely. US carriers aren't soft shelled behemoths.

#4 IRAN + IRGC = CHINA + PLAN = still need to strike at any incoming USN CVBG(S) + Other while the latter are still far away.

IMO its one of the reasons, but not the only one, as to why China is doing what she is doing via island reclamations in the South China Sea, i.e. the South China Sea that is directly across from the Northern Philipines, to include the Subic-Manila-Clark Regions, WHERE CHINA NEEDS TO BASE PLA LR AIRPOWER + ASBMS, ETC. TO DETER INCOMING US OR US-LED INTERVENING MILFORS.

DITTO AS PER CHINA GETTING CONTROL OF TAIWAN, GUAM-WESTPAC, + EX-WW2 IJN CHUUK/TRUK LAGOON.

Iran + IRGC = China + PLA = US + USDOD, etc. = all adhere AMAP to the adage of better to fight an Enemy(s) "OVER THERE [Over-The-Horizon], NOT OVER HERE".
