President Trump told 60 Minutes that there is no reason to escalate the war with Iran, according to a live updates report from CBS News. The network's headline summarized the position in those terms, and its summary described the remarks in somewhat more detail.
The summary said the President described the war as a "good decision" over the long term, even though it has had a short-term impact. CBS News did not describe that short-term impact in its summary, and it gave no figures or measures showing how large the impact has been.
The summary did not include the full text of the interview or the questions that preceded the statement about escalation. Because the item is a summary, the exact wording the President used on escalation, and the context in which he used it, cannot be confirmed from the material available for this story.
CBS News published the item on a live updates page devoted to the war with Iran, which makes it one entry in a running account rather than a standalone interview report. The summary named no officials other than the President, and the material available for this story carried no byline.
No other outlet's coverage of the remarks was included in the material for this story, so the account here rests on the CBS News item alone.
