Trump Signals Imminent End to Iran Conflict Amid Israeli Commitment to Continued Operations
President Trump indicates the U.S. military campaign in Iran may conclude soon, while Israeli officials assert operations will persist until all objectives are met.
President Donald Trump has suggested that the United States' military campaign in Iran could conclude in the near future, stating there is "practically nothing left to target." In a phone interview with Axios on March 11, 2026, Trump remarked, "Any time I want it to end, it will end."
Despite Trump's indication of a potential end to the conflict, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz emphasized that operations would continue indefinitely to achieve all objectives. Katz stated, "The operation will continue without any time limit, as long as required, until we accomplish all objectives and achieve victory in the campaign."
The ongoing conflict has significantly impacted global oil markets, with Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz disrupting oil shipments and causing prices to surge. Trump has warned of intensified military responses if Iran continues to obstruct this critical maritime route.
As the situation develops, the international community remains attentive to the differing stances of the U.S. and Israel regarding the duration and objectives of the military operations in Iran.
