U.S. has ‘practically nothing left to target’ in Iran, says Trump: report

Trump claims U.S. has "practically nothing left to target" in Iran, signaling potential swift end to the conflict.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday again signalled there could be a swift ending to the U.S. war on Iran, saying there is little left in the country for US forces to attack.

There is “practically nothing left to target” and the war will end “soon,” Mr. Trump was quoted as saying in an interview with Axios. “Any time I want it to end, it will end.”

Mr. Trump has given repeated mixed messages about the timing and aims of the war but on Monday (March 9, 2026) he also said the ending could come “soon.”

The U.S. President faces negative domestic polls and fears over the global economic disruption from the U.S.-Israeli operation against Iran.

Accusations that the White House launched the war without preparing for consequences, including Iranian disruption of oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, are putting the 79-year-old Republican under political pressure.
