Donald Trump says Iran war will end soon as there’s 'practically nothing left to target'

President Donald Trump has said there is "nothing left" to target in Iran as he suggested the war will end soon.

The conflict began nearly two weeks ago with strikes on Iran by the US and Israel aimed at dismantling Iran's military capabilities and nuclear program.

The US President told Axios: "Little this and that... Any time I want it to end, it will end."

It follows comments from Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, who said the war must be stopped before the whole Middle East region is "thrown into the fire".

Meanwhile, Israeli officials have acknowledged there is no certainty the war against Iran will lead to a collapse of its clerical government, despite President Trump's claim the war will end soon.

Iran's newly-appointed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was lightly injured but is continuing to operate, an Iranian official told reporters after state television described him as war wounded.

Khamenei has not been seen by Iranians, or issued any public statement or message, since his selection on Sunday by a clerical assembly and is widely rumoured to have been wounded in the strikes.

The official did not give details about when Khamenei was injured or why he had not made any statement to the public since his appointment.
