The Iran war situation report. - Part 94

Why did the US halt its strikes first?

The US halted its strikes against Iran because it was running out of missiles and also is suffering massive military losses (fighter jets, drones, weaponry) that are caused by Iran strikes.  Furthermore, there's no strategic targets to hit anymore in Iran as most of the strategic assets are deep underground and the US can't reach them.

Conversely, Iran also stopped its retaliation to preserve its weaponry for future strikes against the US.

Just as we've projected, the US couldn't defeat Iran just by some airstrikes and bombings, and Iran won't relent until justic is served.

Consequently, the underdog, Houthis (Yemen), has participated in the Iran war by bombing Saudi Arabia's oil refinery in addition to its red sea blockage.

It looks like the gulf situation is escalating and getting out of control.  If the US doesn't stop this illegal war, things may go south in a fast and furious manner.
