US-Iran War: US President Donald Trump on Wednesday once again said that the ongoing conflict with Iran will end soon, claiming it would "end any time he wants it to end". Speaking to Axios over the phone, Trump said there is "practically nothing left to target."

Amid the escalating tensions in the Middle East, Trump said, "Little this and that...Any time I want it to end, it will end." Even as Trump hinted that the objectives of his operation in Iran had largely been achieved, strikes and attacks across the Middle East have not come to a halt.

'Strikes Will Continue As Long As Necessary': Israel

Earlier in the day, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said the joint striking campaign with the United States would continue 'as long as necessary'.

"This operation will continue without any time limit, as long as necessary, until we achieve all the objectives and decide the outcome of the campaign," news agency AFP quoted Katz as saying.

Katz said strikes in Tehran and across Iran would continue "day after day, target after target." He added that the attacks would continue to allow Iranians to rise up and remove the Khamenei-led regime. "Ultimately, that is something that depends on them," Katz added.

'War Is Very Complete': Trump

The US President's claim that the war would end anytime he wants it to end comes a day after he told CBS that the conflict is "very complete," saying Iran now has "no navy, no communications", and “no air force."

"Their missiles are down to a scatter. Their drones are being blown up all over the place, including their manufacturing of drones," Trump said, adding that Tehran has nothing left in a "military sense."

"They've shot everything they have to shoot, and they better not try anything cute or it's going to be the end of that country…If they do anything bad, that would be the end of Iran and you'd never hear the name again," CBS quoted Trump as saying.

Trump on Tuesday warned Iran of fresh military action over reports of mines in the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s largest oil chokepoint. In a post on Truth Social, he warned of military measures at a "level never seen before."

“If Iran has put out any mines in the Hormuz Strait, and we have no reports of them doing so, we want them removed, IMMEDIATELY! If for any reason mines were placed, and they are not removed forthwith, the Military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before," he wrote in his social media post.
