CNN reports that US military officials are preparing contingency plans to strike Iran’s remaining military assets around the Strait of Hormuz if the current ceasefire collapses.

•⁠ ⁠Potential targets reportedly include fast attack boats, mine-laying vessels, coastal defense systems, missile launchers, and other capabilities that could threaten shipping lanes or disrupt maritime traffic.

•⁠ ⁠Trump still prefers a diplomatic resolution, but officials stressed the ceasefire is not open-ended and US forces are ready to resume strikes if negotiations fail.
