Washington, July 26 /Xinhua/ — American military forces have suspended strikes on Iran, local media reported, providing various explanations for this move.
CNN, citing a source in the Pentagon, stated that operations are “suspended,” without specifying the time frame. CBS News, citing two regional sources, reported that Washington has suspended attacks to avoid disrupting the visit of an Omani delegation to Tehran for talks on resuming navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
Separately, The New York Times reported that President Donald Trump postponed plans for a sharp escalation after senior advisers warned about the depletion of U.S. air defense stocks. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Cane also warned that resuming large-scale operations could exhaust the supply of interceptors available to U.S. Central Command.
The United States has launched more than 1200 Patriot missile interceptors, each costing over 4 million US dollars. –0–
