US President Donald Trump decided not to escalate the conflict with Iran, fearing that an extended war could deplete interceptor stockpiles, US officials told The New York Times on Saturday.

According to the officials, recent White House discussions have centered on the depletion of the US's interceptor missiles, particularly since three US soldiers were killed in Jordan after an Iranian missile got through American air defenses.

US General Dan Caine has said, according the the NYT's sources, that a return to full-fledged war with Iran was doable, but would severely reduce the amount of missiles available to US Central Command (CENTCOM) in the Middle East.
