In an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes" aired Sunday, US President Donald Trump said Israel and other countries to which Washington provided protection will bear the costs of the US war on Iran and that Washington will recoup what it spent. Trump acknowledged that the war on Iran, high fuel prices and growing aversion to Israel were among the reasons Republicans lost the midterm congressional elections. He defended the war decision as historically correct and also attributed the loss to poor messaging and insufficient press coverage.
