🚨🇺🇸 Vance and Caine both warned Trump about America's depleted munitions stockpile before he halted the strikes on Iran. -Vice President JD Vance AND Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine raised stockpile concerns directly to Trump at Friday's White House meeting as he weighed escalation -A Defense Department source confirmed to CNN that operations are "on a hold," though it's unclear if the stockpile warning was the primary driver of the pause or how long it lasts -Even while publicly floating a "massive attack," Trump privately directed his negotiators to "keep talking," per a source familiar -Few in his inner circle or the Pentagon believed escalation would deliver the results he wanted, and Gulf countries have urged restraint in recent conversations -Caine and other military leaders warned Trump BEFORE the war began that a protracted campaign could drain the stockpiles, a warning now five months proven -The Pentagon's pushback: America's military "has everything it needs to execute at the time and place of the President's choosing" The vice president joining the chairman in the ammunition briefing is the alignment that matters. When the political heir and the top military officer deliver the same warning in the same meeting, the message is unmistakable: the arsenal can't fund the rhetoric. Caine said this before the first bomb fell. Five months and 1,200 Patriots later, the president finally paused long enough to hear it. Source: CNN / Writer: Daniel
