US President Donald Trump tells Axios that there’s “practically nothing left to target” in Iran, reiterating that the war there will end soon.
“Little this and that… Any time I want it to end, it will end,” Trump tells the outlet.
Recent days have seen Trump offer mixed messages on whether or not he expects an imminent end to the war.
Trump also indicates the initial campaign was designed as a six-week fight. “The war is going great,” he says. “We are way ahead of the timetable. We have done more damage than we thought possible, even in the original six-week period.”
Trump says that Iran was not only threatening Israel and the US, but “were after the rest of the Middle East.”
“They are paying for 47 years of death and destruction they caused. This is payback. They will not get off that easy,” he says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
