JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump told Axios on Wednesday, "there is practically nothing left" to target in Iran and the war there will soon end.
"A little bit of this and that. Whenever I want this war to end, it will end," President Trump said in a brief telephone interview, reported by Al Arabiya (12/3).
The conflict began almost two weeks ago with an attack on Iran by the US and Israel aimed at crippling Iran's military capabilities and nuclear program.
It is known that the Middle East region is heating up along with the Israeli and US attacks on Iran on February 28, killing civilians and high-ranking Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran retaliated by carrying out attacks on Israeli territory and targeting facilities related to US military activity in the Middle East.
The attack comes weeks after Iranian authorities crushed mass protests, although the United States and Israel say they are not necessarily seeking to overthrow the Iranian regime.
Separately, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday that the joint bombing campaign with the US against Iran would continue "as long as necessary," and confirmed that the attacks had caused many casualties on the part of Tehran's forces.
"This operation will continue indefinitely, for as long as it takes, until we achieve all our goals and decide on the outcome of the campaign," he said.
Katz added that the attacks would continue in Tehran and across the country "day after day, target after target."
Defense Secretary Katz said the attacks would continue "to allow the Iranian people to rise up, act, and get rid of this regime," adding "in the end, it's something that's up to them."
