Former President Donald Trump made striking comments to Axios regarding ongoing Middle East tensions, claiming there are "practically nothing left" to target in Iran. His remarks suggest a significant escalation in military operations against Iranian assets in the region.
"Little this and that... Any time I want it to end it will end," Trump stated during the interview, indicating his confidence in controlling the conflict's trajectory. These comments come as Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced Wednesday that military operations would continue "without any time limit" until all strategic objectives are achieved.
The statements reflect the complex geopolitical landscape in the Middle East, where multiple actors are engaged in ongoing military campaigns. Trump's assessment of Iran's remaining military infrastructure suggests extensive damage to the country's strategic capabilities through recent operations.
Israeli officials have emphasized their commitment to achieving "decisive victory" in the current campaign, with Defense Minister Katz stating operations will persist "for as long as necessary." This coordination between Trump's statements and Israeli policy indicates continued alignment on Middle East strategy.
