US Officials Say Trump Is Holding Back Iran Escalation Over Missile Stockpile Concerns
US officials told an international newspaper that President Donald Trump has decided against escalating the conflict with Iran, partly because a prolonged war could strain US interceptor-missile stockpiles. The concern reportedly intensified after three US soldiers were killed in Jordan when a missile breached American air defences. Officials said a major military operation remains possible, but could significantly reduce the missiles available to US forces in the Middle East. Trump has said the US is continuing diplomatic talks with Tehran while keeping military options ready. The post praises Iran’s resistance and argues that Palestinians should show similar strength against Israel.
