WITKOFF AND KUSHNER TO DISCUSS DEAL TO END WAR WITH IRAN - AXIOS CITES 2 US OFFICIALS

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.
