Praising the steady leadership and calmness of Vice President Kamala Harris, her running mate Governor Tim Walz has slammed the policies of the Republican presidential candidate claiming that Iran went closer to nuclear weapons because of Donald Trump.

Senator J D Vance, however, asserted that Trump consistently made the world more secure.

These remarks were made on Tuesday during the only vice-presidential debate between Walz and Vance in New York hosted by CBS News, hours after Iran fired at least 180 missiles into Israel as regionwide conflict grows.
