Trump: 'practically nothing left to target' in Iran — war to end soon, designed as 6-week fight

US President Donald Trump told Axios that there is 'practically nothing left to target' in Iran and that the war will end soon. 'Any time I want it to end, it will end,' Trump said, adding: 'The war is going great. We are way ahead of the timetable. We have done more damage than we thought possible, even in the original six-week period.' Trump revealed that the initial campaign was designed as a six-week fight — an unprecedented disclosure of the original operational planning timeline. Trump said 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.' Trump's 'practically nothing left to target' assertion contrasts sharply with CENTCOM's report of 5,500+ targets struck and ongoing daily strike waves. The 6-week timeline disclosure — coming on Day 12 of the war — suggests the US originally planned for a campaign running through approximately April 11. 'Way ahead of timetable' implies the US may seek to end kinetic operations significantly earlier. The Trump statements create a direct public divergence with Israel: Defense Minister Katz said hours earlier the operation will continue 'without any time limit.' The US-Israel war duration rift is now publicly visible.
