Donald Trump, the President of the United States of America, said Sunday night on the CBS program "60 Minutes" that he does not intend to escalate the war with the Islamic Republic after the midterm elections, because he sees no reason to do so.
He said Tehran was close to an agreement, but the election result gave new hope to the Islamic Republic. Trump emphasized that if he decides to attack Iran again, his answer will be "an emphatic yes."
Trump said that the Islamic Republic's military power has weakened and Iran's nuclear program has been rejected, and history will judge Iran favorably.
He acknowledged that dissatisfaction with the war and the high price of gasoline played a role in the Republican defeat, but he saw his absence from the election as the main factor.
Trump said he did not dispute Jay's assessment. Dee Vance about the role of the war in the election defeat, but still sees the attack on Iran as the right decision.
In the White House, he emphasized the importance of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and defended Pete Heggest, the American Secretary of War, saying: "We fought two wars and won both. We won in Venezuela, we won in Iran.
