Is Trump chickening out? Potus holds off on plans to further attack Iran as top aides raise concerns

Donald Trump is setting aside plans to sharply escalate the war against Iran.
Top aides raised concerns that intensifying the war could deplete the Pentagon's stockpile of Patriot antimissile interceptors.
The Trump administration is more open to negotiations with Iran due to these concerns.
Trump and his aides are uneasy about a widening war in West Asia.
They fear prolonging the war would alienate US Gulf allies.
