When will the war with Iran end? Israel: We will coordinate with the US, we do not seek endless conflict

Israel is not seeking an endless war with Iran and will coordinate with the United States on when to end the fighting, Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said Tuesday, declining to publicly state a timeline for when the conflict might end.
The US-Israeli war with Iran, now in its 11th day, has engulfed the Middle East, with Iranian attacks hitting neighboring states, including the United Arab Emirates, and Israel fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon, as well as striking Iran.
"We will continue until the minute we and our partners think it is appropriate to stop," Saar told reporters in Jerusalem alongside his German counterpart.
"We are not looking for an endless war," he said.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said earlier in Berlin that there was growing concern in Europe about the war and there did not appear to be any plan to end it.
"We want to eliminate, for a long time, the existential threats from Iran to Israel," Saar said in response to a Reuters question about what a victory for the government would look like.
He described Iran's newly appointed supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamanei - the son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed by the Israeli army on the first day of the war - as an extremist.
Israel has said it aims to eliminate Iran's clerical rule by destroying its nuclear and ballistic missile programs and creating conditions for Iranians to overthrow their rulers.
Saar said there was an opportunity to create conditions for Iranians to "regain their freedom," while acknowledging that this may not happen during the war and could happen afterward.
"We must not waste this opportunity with partial results."
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, the first senior foreign official to publicly visit Israel since the start of the war, said he was convinced that Israel and Washington were open to a diplomatic solution that could lead to an end to the war.
But any such solution would have to include agreements with Iran on its nuclear and missile programs, as well as its support for regional militias, conditions that Wadephul said Tehran had made clear it was not currently prepared to accept.
