US President Donald Trump said in an interview with 60 Minutes that he does not seek to escalate the war with Iran after the end of the US midterm elections.
In response to a question about the possibility of an escalation of the war after the election, Trump said: "I'm not looking for it, and I don't think there's a reason for it."
Trump added, while defending the decision to wage war on Iran: "Iran cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons. I believe that this decision will be very correct from a historical point of view. Is this a good decision for today and tomorrow? Maybe not, but I have to choose what is in the interest of our country."
