Trump pauses US military escalation against Iran amid dwindling air defenses
US President Donald Trump has paused plans to escalate military operations against Iran after reports emerged of dwindling American air defenses in West Asia. The decision follows renewed airstrikes on Iranian targets nearly two weeks ago, which marked a significant escalation in the five-month-old conflict. The pause comes as diplomatic efforts gain momentum to de-escalate tensions and avoid an all-out war. The conflict has disrupted shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil route. The US military has not conducted further strikes since the pause was announced.
