The Iran war is complicating US plans for a Taiwan conflict, with officials warning that fully rebuilding some military stockpiles could take up to 6 years. - WSJ

The US has expended over 1,000 Tomahawk missiles and up to 2,000 air-defense interceptors in the Iran war, with replenishment potentially taking up to six years, officials said. Some warn this could constrain near-term Taiwan contingency plans, while others dispute readiness concerns. Adm. Samuel Paparo told Congress, "I don't see any real cost being imposed on our ability to deter China." Mark Cancian of the Center for Strategic and International Studies said, "It's going to be years before we can rebuild those inventories."

US military is preparing contingency plans to strike Iran's defenses around the Strait of Hormuz if the ceasefire collapses, sources told CNN. Options include targeting fast boats, minelaying vessels, missile systems, and infrastructure in the Strait, Gulf of Oman, and southern Arabian Gulf, along with possible strikes on energy assets and selected Iranian military leaders. Officials say Iran still retains significant coastal missiles and mobile assets, meaning strikes may not quickly reopen the waterway. US naval forces are continuing blockade operations in the region.
