Due to the shortage of interceptors, the Americans have to choose which Iranian missiles to shoot down and which to skip. It is reported by NBC News with reference to two high-ranking American officials.

According to sources, the depletion of ammunition stocks forces commanders to use air defense systems only in cases where an attack directly threatens American military personnel. If, according to the military, a missile or drone does not hit US personnel or key facilities, they may not be intercepted. In particular, we are talking about strikes on empty runways, radar stations, fuel depots or allied facilities.

As the NYT reported earlier, US President Donald Trump took a pause in strikes against Iran, including due to a shortage of ammunition.

As reported by EADaily, Iran recommended that the United States no longer resume military operations against it. This was reported by the Israeli portal cursorinfo.co.il .

Iran has officially announced the termination of its retaliatory operations against US bases and their allies in The Persian Gulf. This decision is explained in Tehran by the fact that their strategy is "exclusively retaliatory in nature" and they suspended the strikes following the pause taken by the United States. As of July 26, Tehran has no longer carried out attacks and Washington also did not strike two nights in a row.
