6. I suspect Navy is having issues with resupplying the warships

Normally, even if warships stay out at sea, auxiliary ships can go into nearby available ports to restock on supplies and bring them out to the warships.

BUT- what available ports? The Gulf is still effectively closed, and shipping through the Suez Canal would have its own issues. Even if auxiliary ships were stocked, I don't think they are normally prepared for major conflict. Thus, what I would call "meals ready to reject".
