WASHINGTON, March 11 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump told Axios on Wednesday that there's "practically nothing left" to target in Iran and that the war there will end "soon."

"Little this and that... Any time I want it to end, it will end," Trump said during a brief phone interview.

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