6:31 pm
place as a fragile, hours-old ceasefire between israel and iran appears to be holding. >> maurice: back in washington, the administration is disputing an early u.s. intelligent assessment of the damage done by the american air strikes. >> john: according to a cbs news poll out this evening a vast majority of americans say iran having a nuclear weapon would be a "very serious" or "somewhat serious threat" to both the u.s. and to israel. still, a majority of those polled, 56%, do not approve of the u.s. military strikes on iran. >> maurice: our senior white house correspondent ed o'keefe is traveling with the president. he begins our coverage from outside the hague tonight. ed? >> reporter: good evening. president trump arrived here hoping to have completely wiped out iran's nuclear program and having brokered a ceasefire between iran and israel, but a new initial intelligence assessment tonight suggests the nuclear ambitions may have just been set back a few months, and that ceasefire nearly collapsed today. just hours after president trump first announced the israel-iran
6:32 pm
ceasefire this morning, they exchanged fire again, prompting the president to drop a rhetorical bomb as he vented frustration. >> we basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the [bleep] they are doing. do you understand that? >> reporter: aboard air force one, the president called israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to demand peace. >> i said you got to call back the planes. >> reporter: he insisted iran will never go nuclear. >> the last thing on their minds is nuclear weapons. they don't even want to think about nuclear. and our b-2 pilots made this all possible. >> reporter: and clarified he is not seeking regime change in iran. >> no, i don't want it. i'd like to see every thing calm down as quickly as possible. regime change takes chaos. and ideally we don't want to see so much chaos. >> reporter: that the
6:33 pm
ceasefire appears to be holding at all is a significant accomplishment for the president, who pumped his fist as he arrived at the summit, and on his way here was congratulated by nato's secretary general mark rutte in a text message. he added, "you are flying into another big success in the hague this evening." that success is convincing most nato members to start spending more on their militaries. leaders are finalizing plans to spend up to 5% of their gdp in the coming years on troops tanks, aircraft, and weapons and related infrastructure. "you will achieve something no american president in decades could get done," the secretary general added in his flattering text. but as russia bombards ukraine as it did again today, attacking three cities, that war remains a big focus of this summit. >> john: ed, can we go back to that intelligence assessment of the bombing? what more can you tell us about that? >> reporter: so, cbs news has learned a classified preliminary assessment by the defense intelligence agency has found that iran's nuclear ambitions may have just been set back by a few months because those three
6:34 pm
nuclear sites struck over the weekend were damaged, but not completely obliterated, as the president has claimed. the white house is pushing back on this report tonight, saying it's flat-out wrong and that it's being peddled by a "low-level loser" in the intelligence community. but one source tells cbs news that these kinds of preliminary assessments are thoughtfully prepared and ultimately tend to hold up. >> maurice: okay, ed o'keefe at the hague tonight with the president, thank you. >> john: we were curious about the perspective iranians living in the united states have about the war. >> maurice: nearly 300,000 iranian americans live in california, many in the westwood neighborhood of los angeles also known as little tehran. >> john: jonathan vigliotti is there. >> reporter: los angeles is home to the largest population of iranians outside of iran, and at some places here in westwood farsi is spoken more than english. this multiblock section of shops and cafes near the campus of ucla is what is known as
6:35 pm
persian square. that's where we met restaurant owner roozbeh farahanipour. you still have family in iran? >> extended family. and i have a lot of friends. i worry about them on a daily basis. >> john: he was seven years old when iran's clerical regime came to power in 1979. then his family endured the eight-year war with iraq. as a college student, he led protests against the regime, was arrested, tortured, and in 1999 he told us, marked for death. >> the day i see my execution judgment in the newspaper, i escaped the country. >> reporter: if there's anyone that wants the regime as it stands to end, it's you. >> but the problem is, if we are only targeting the overthrowing this regime, and we don't have any plan to replace them, create a vacuum of power, i don't know what's going to happen next. >> we absolutely cannot bomb a people into peace. we can't bully iran into a deal. >> reporter: fatemeh mashouf was three years old when her family fled iran in 1990 seeking a better life. they found it here in california.
6:36 pm
>> my generation has never lived with true feeling of peace. we were born running to bunkers. >> reporter: she's an attorney and mother of three. mashouf has returned often to iran to visit family. >> i want them to be tied to their roots because it's a beautiful thing. >> reporter: if peace democracy restored to iran would you go back home? or is this now -- >> this is my home. westwood is my home, my final destination and my final address. >> reporter: farahanipour says he is worried about his family in iran and the iranian regime becoming more isolated and extreme as a result of the conflict. >> maurice: jonathan vigliotti in los angeles tonight thank you. >> john: now more of the top stories from around the world in tonight's "evening news"

6:38 pm
the accident left this gaping hole in the plane. 177 people were on board. eight suffered minor injuries. ntsb investigators found fault with boeing's training production, documentation, and safety culture. the board also faulted the faa's oversight. >> the safety deficiencies that led to this accident should have been evident. >> reporter: ntsb chair jennifer homendy. is this all due to human error on the manufacturing at boeing? >> it is due to a process issue a process failure. so, really what we needed was a design change or a better process. >> reporter: when this 737 max was being manufactured, boeing removed that door panel to make repairs to rivets nearby. paperwork for additional inspections were never created and the panel was reinstalled without the bolts. the team that did the work had never opened that kind of door panel before. >> all of a sudden, just this huge bang happened. it sounded like a firework going off, like right in your ears just like so loud, and then a white cloud went through the plane, and the masks dropped down. >> reporter: shandy brewer was

6:40 pm
onto the child. now, both boeing and the faa tell us they are reviewing the findings and the recommendations. they have made significant changes. the ntsb believes there is more work to be done. >> john: kris van cleave thank you. >> maurice: our cbs news poll out tonight includes questions on the condition of the economy. almost six in ten americans say it is in bad shape. that assessment has not changed since last month, and stocks however, were up across the board today, so we have asked "money watch" correspondent kelly o'grady to explain what is going on here, and kelly, s&p in near record territory today. >> reporter: yeah, you know investors, i think they're getting more hopeful that this middle eastern ceasefire is going to last. they also love the fact that oil prices are down, and that stock right there, if you peel back the onion, though, it is really driven by big tech stocks. i'm talking meta, netflix nvidia, microsoft, all seeing big year-to-date gains. versus the consumer discretionary sector is really down. so the s&p is ruled by big tech. >> maurice: stock market is one thing but how but the way people feel? confidence is way down.
6:41 pm
>> reporter: confidence down because people are feeling concerns still about tariffs rising prices, geopolitical tensions. remember the stock market is not the economy. now consumers, they may not be right, but you have to remember people are looking at the reality of their financial situation. they are getting worried. an investor is someone making a bet on a company ten years down the line. >> maurice: two separate concepts there. kelly o'grady, thank you so much. still ahead here on the "cbs evening news," lonnie quinn on the heat records that melted away today. and we'll have these stories. >> i'm scott macfarlane in mcdowell county, west virginia. what happens when the catastrophic flood might be the second-biggest problem in town? ♪ ♪ >> i'm david schechter in texas. more extreme summer days are increasing the risk of preterm birth. experts say mothers need more warnings. that story is coming up on the "cbs evening news." ♪ ♪ "cbs evening news." hronic kidne, farxiga can help you keep living life
