The United States halted its two-week airstrikes against Iran two days ago, and Iran has also stopped retaliatory attacks. An Iranian military spokesman said that Iran had also suspended its retaliatory operations due to the US attack cessation. Analysis suggests that this halt in airstrikes may be related to the US facing a shortage of defensive weapons stockpiles, such as Patriot interceptor missiles. However, Iran still maintains control over the Strait of Hormuz and warned that if the US resumes attacks, the war will escalate further.
