A week after Iran killed American troops in Jordan, crossing President Donald Trump's red line for restarting all-out war, the U.S. military didn't launch airstrikes on the regime.
Friday came and went without an announcement from U.S. Central Command about a new attack, breaking a nearly two-week streak.
Sources told Axios that Trump received plans from the military yesterday to conduct strikes in Iran but didn't give a green light and instead ordered them to hold off.
U.S. forces are still preparing for major combat operations to potentially resume, but Trump hasn't issued orders to move in that direction, the report added.
The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

It's embarrassing.
Sources told axios. I stopped reading right there.
What is embarrassing is he listened to war groupies like you and got himself and the country and the world into a cataclysmically dangerourous situation from which he is desperately seeking an off-ramp.
It’s extraordinarily unlikely he is listening to me.
Embarising is not fighting Wars 100 percent.

” got himself and the country and the world into a cataclysmically dangerourous situation from which he is desperately seeking an off-ramp”
He can cut and run at any time. He’s POTUS.
That would be your advice?
I’ve been saying for months that our bond market is playing a much bigger role in these military decisions than most Americans realize.
He is probably giving our pilots and support staff a break.
Trump has a red line and crossing it makes him back off.
Who knew?
We shouldn’t be there.

“Together with our Israeli partners, America’s military achieved every single objective on plan, on schedule, exactly as laid out from day one.”
“Never before has a modern, capable military, which Iran used to have, been so quickly destroyed and made combat ineffective.”
Possibility #2) Trump has quietly positioned a strike force nearby and will shortly start a surgical ground campaign within Iran to seize control of the area around Kharg Island. <-- people will scream "Warmonger!" and say that Trump is a disaster.
I do not recall an “all out” war, let alone a “red line”.
I didn’t even get that far. Look at the headline- its idiot fodder.
No, he can’t cause Itan can choke the straight. He must do what he should have done in April.
A+ 100%.
BTTT
Shove your straw man where the sun don't shine.
Trump is showing he is a loser really...
Actually we are low in weapons that is what happened. The real story is that even if we were to do a massive strike on iran right now, we would deplete our stock, and that is sad..sad that we basically cannot defend ourselves and all Iran has to do is SURVIVE, that is what they have always done and it works
There is stuff going on behind the scenes you are not privy to.
