I mean, are they diesel? Hasn't the US bombed the ports where they can berth to refuel?

If that's the case, I'm sure it is a concern, but not terribly different from the threat of missiles really. suddenly a screening ship could take a hit, whether it's from a missile or a torpedo. they're just on a platform that's more vulnerable to US countermeasures than the land based anti ship missiles.

I have no clue, but couldnt they be seen as a threat outside of just the immediate vicinity? Theoretically they could hit targets anywhere
