Washington – U.S. President Donald Trump has decided not to move forward with a planned military strike against Iran following a closed-door meeting with senior advisers and cabinet officials, according to a report by The New York Times citing U.S. officials.
The report says concerns over declining inventories of Patriot interceptor missiles and other air defense munitions were among the primary reasons behind the decision.
The White House has not yet commented on the report or confirmed its details.
The development comes amid heightened military tensions between the United States and Iran, following weeks of reciprocal strikes targeting each other's positions in the region.
