Trump Decides Not To Escalate Iran Conflict as Interceptor Stockpile Decreases by God1000(op): 9:17am On Jul 26
According to the officials, recent White House discussions have centered on the depletion of the US's interceptor missiles, particularly since three US soldiers were killed in Jordan.


US President Donald Trump decided not to escalate the conflict with Iran, fearing that an extended war could deplete interceptor stockpiles, US officials told The New York Times on Saturday.

According to the officials, recent White House discussions have centered on the depletion of the US's interceptor missiles, particularly since three US soldiers were killed in Jordan after an Iranian missile got through American air defenses.

US General Dan Caine has said, according the the NYT's sources, that a return to full-fledged war with Iran was doable, but would severely reduce the amount of missiles available to US Central Command (CENTCOM) in the Middle East.

White House communications director Steven Cheung told the NYT that Trump has been "consistent in saying he prefers a diplomatic solution, but he continues to retain all options if Iran continues terrorist activities in the Straight of Hormuz or against allies.”

Cheung added that “it would be wise for Iran to work towards a negotiated deal; otherwise, they know what will happen.”

One anonymous senior US official claimed that a return to major operations against Iran would not drive them back towards negotiations, while other sources claimed that the strikes would have the opposite effect entirely, giving the Iranian leadership an external threat to focus on and rally against.

US continuing diplomatic talks, prepared for military option

Earlier on Saturday, sources familiar with the administration’s decision-making process told The Jerusalem Post that Trump has not yet made a final decision on whether to launch a major strike against Iran.

As the president said on Friday, the United States is continuing diplomatic talks with Tehran while keeping the military option fully prepared.

“We’re locked and loaded,” Trump said, adding that Washington could escalate its military campaign “to a much higher level” if necessary, but that his preferred option remains a negotiated agreement.

Which escalation are they talking about again after US consistent bombardment of Iran for 12 day and Iran also sending retaliation missiles to US military bases in the Gulf countries.

It's just a way of looking for strategic breaks for restoration of armory. If Iran is not a weak country, US would have invaded it.

If you want peace and respect in committee of nations without external hegemony, you must always prepare for war.

Trump is a dolt, and he should make up his mind.

If he wants to go all out on Iran, he should do so quickly so that the World can quickly witness the fall of the Empire, otherwise he can back off so that the World can continue to enjoy the little Peace we have left.

Trump must know that this “Iranian Bone” is completely unchewable.

If he’s so worried about proliferation of Nukes, he should go and tackle North Korea.

Iran only rely on propaganda, the reason for the pause is that Iran came begging Oman to talk to uncle Sam. The talk is ongoing and Trump wants a deal so he had to pause on Friday.

Iran don't need to touch Israel,they are not the Aggressors.

It is on Israel to defeat Iran if they are strong as they claim.

Your chest beating,cowardly bullies can't defeat Iran and they are stomped on how to get away from a war they started.
