Trump says there’s ‘practically nothing left to target’ in Iran, war will end ‘soon’ Global News
Trump says ‘practically nothing left’ to target in Iran, Axios reports US President Donald Trump said there is “practically nothing left to target” in Iran after days of US strikes, suggesting the war could end soon, according to a report by Axios. Speaking in a brief phone interview with the outlet on Wednesday, Trump claimed the military campaign had exceeded expectations and caused more damage than originally anticipated. “The war is going great. We are way ahead of the timetable,” Trump told Axios, adding that the conflict could end whenever he decided it should. Despite the president’s remarks, US and Israeli officials told the outlet that there has been no internal decision on when the fighting will stop, with some officials preparing for at least two more weeks of strikes. Axios also reported that the US recently received intelligence indicating Iran had begun laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, the critical global oil shipping route. Trump said US strikes destroyed 16 Iranian mine-laying boats, while US Central Command said its operations aim to weaken Iran’s ability to threaten regional shipping and project military power.

WASHINGTON, March 11 (Reuters) - Iran has deployed about a dozen mines in the Strait of Hormuz, two sources familiar with the matter said, in a move likely to complicate the reopening of the narrow waterway, an important route for shipping oil and liquefied natural gas. Exports of oil and LNG through the strategic chokepoint along Iran's coast have effectively been halted by the war launched 12 days ago by the United States and Israel, helping to drive a surge in world energy prices.
