Israel says still has broad range of targets in Iran
Jerusalem, March 11 (AFP) Mar 11, 2026
Israel still has a wide range of targets it can strike in Iran, the military said Wednesday, even as US President Donald Trump suggested there was little left for American forces to hit.

"As an army, we still have a broad bank of targets. We will expand our operations," military spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin said in a televised briefing.

"The goal is to undermine the foundations of the regime."

In a separate statement, an Israeli military source said that since the start of the war, Israel had struck "eight times more targets" than during the 12-day war in June 2025.

The military did not say how many targets it had hit since the current war began on February 28.

Earlier on Wednesday, Trump signalled the war could end soon.

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

Trump has given repeated mixed messages about the timing and aims of the war, but has increasingly hinted at ending it soon as global oil prices spike.

The United States and Israel launched coordinated aerial strikes on Iran on February 28, killing supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the opening attacks.

With the war in its 12th day, Iran warned it was prepared for a prolonged war of attrition that would "destroy" the world economy.
