US Military Campaign Put On Hold Over Diplomacy And Supply Chain
The US has put off a major escalation of its military campaign against Iran, according to US officials familiar with the matter. The decision comes as efforts to revive diplomacy and open the Strait of Hormuz are underway. The US military had been poised to launch an intensive series of strikes against Iran, which could have lasted up to two weeks. The pause in military action may be due to concerns over dwindling air defense stocks, as well as a desire to explore diplomatic solutions. This development was first reported by an unknown source.
