What even is the plan here if the air assault fails? Boots on the ground? In Iran?

Other than nukes that would be the only option if they can blast the doors to the underground military cities. They will have to do it fast as the ships will not sustain combat for more than 5 days with their current ammo per the pentagon.

Why would warships only have ammo for 5 days??

Well in my opinion I would call that piss poor planning but I am just repeating what the pentagon said. For all I know this could be misdirection.

That means refueling somehow and getting massive amounts of heavy munitions delivered. Meanwhile congress are trying to have an emergency war powers meeting to shut all this down. Whatever they have planned they better step it up.
