Like the fighter who distracts his foe with feints before bringing an uppercut that knocks out his opponent, the world has been exclusively focused on Iran shutting the Straits of Hormuz while ignoring the chilling fact that it is a regime of theocratic extremists who have launched ballistic missiles capable of hitting Europe as well as US bases in the Indian Ocean. Iran’s ruling ayatollahs want to put nuclear warheads on those missiles. That is where the real threat lies — not in a Middle East waterway — but in Iran’s missile silos and nuclear weapons program.
