The Pentagon is pushing defense contractors to speed up weapons production as the war with Iran drains critical US stockpiles. The depletion is also prompting questions about American readiness in other regions.

That is forcing harder decisions about sending supplies to allies, including Ukraine.

Iran and Oman continue talks on a temporary arrangement for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Attacks on regional energy infrastructure and major disputes over transit rules are making the negotiations more difficult.

The discussions therefore offer limited immediate relief for the strategically important waterway.
