The Middle East crisis opens the US vice-presidential debate

The Middle East crisis just dominated the opening televised US vice presidential debate in New York City.

JD Vance and Tim Walz, running for Donald Trump and Kamala Harris respectively, were asked by the CBS moderators whether they would support Israel in a pre-emptive strike against Iran.

Neither candidate directly answered the question. Walz, a Democrat, apparently confused Israel with Iran when he said: "The expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute fundamental necessity for the United States to have stable leadership there. "

The Minnesota governor focused on criticizing Trump's foreign policy during his presidency. Vance, a Republican senator from Ohio, responded that Iran was now closer to a nuclear weapon than ever.

"Who has been vice president for three and a half years? he said to Walz. "The answer is your friend who is running, not mine"./ CNA
