Milan, 26 July (LaPresse) – US President Donald Trump has shelved, at least for now, plans for a US military escalation against Iran, driven by particular concern that an intensification of the conflict could dangerously deplete the Pentagon’s already scarce stocks of Patriot anti-missile interceptors and other air defence munitions in the Middle East. This is reported by the New York Times. The threat to interceptor stocks is one of many considerations that make a return to large-scale combat operations an extremely risky undertaking, according to administration officials quoted by the New York-based newspaper.
