American media have reported that President Donald Trump has ordered an immediate halt to the US military attack on Iran.
According to these media outlets, after 13 consecutive days of attacks, Trump has suspended plans for further strikes on Iran.
The New York Times, citing Trump administration officials, reported that President Trump made this decision out of concern that escalating the war could dangerously deplete the stockpile of Patriot missile defense system interceptors and other air defense weapons held by US forces in the Middle East.
According to reports, the decision was made after a meeting on Friday between Trump, his top advisers, and senior cabinet members.
Meanwhile, Axios, citing two sources familiar with the decision, reported that it is still unclear whether Trump’s order to halt the attack is temporary or will remain in effect for a longer period.
It has been noted that Trump’s decision reflects his desire to allow more time for diplomatic efforts.
According to sources, the US military is nonetheless preparing possible plans to resume large-scale military operations if necessary.
