The point is...Iran is the central figure in this senario.
With porous borders , there's enough range in the latest missiles ( 180 nm ) to reach any surface vessel in the Red Sea or the Golf of Hormuz from a land based mobile launcher(s).
The AWAC's only look at moving threats, by the time a missile is launched and on track at Mach 2 plus... there's maybe 30 seconds to impact.
I'd say this is a serious threat that has left a big hole in surface shipping defence.
China and far east threats do not pose the same 'inland waters' confined attack strategums.
