Bushra Shaikh(@Bushra1Shaikh):The bigger reason for Donald Trump cancelling an attack on Iran is the risk of losing control of the conflict. U.S. missile stockpiles are under pressure. Inventory of Patriot interceptors has fallen from 2,200 before the war to fewer than 827, and THAAD missiles from 452 to fewer than 278. A strike on Iran could quickly trigger a wider regional war involving multiple actors, from Lebanon and Gaza, to the Houthis in Yemen and place additional pressure on Saudi Arabia. Washington no longer as the realistic ability to sustain a wider conflict.
