Trump said he wished Vance had addressed one crucial question: whether he would make the same decision to strike Iran again, knowing the political consequences.

Trump insists military action was necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Valdez and Chevalier are members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), an organization that explicitly opposes Zionism and advocates a US arms embargo against Israel.

'We don't want our money sent to do apartheid, or genocide, or war,' El-Sayed declared.

Trump said Israel has become successful enough that it no longer needs the assistance and can purchase its own weapons.

'That is sexism dressed up as political analysis. My fiancé has his own views. I have mine. I made this decision, and I am proud of it,' Stevens wrote.

Pelosi's office subsequently confirmed that she remains committed to supporting El-Sayed in his closely watched Senate race against former Republican congressman Mike Rogers.

The timing of Tuesday's US midterm elections has loomed heavily over speculation surrounding the next phase of the conflict.

US officials have reportedly warned several Middle Eastern countries to prepare for possible renewed strikes against Iran following the midterms.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been pushing for renewed attacks and sought American support for an operation before Israel's election.

Even if Netanyahu loses Tuesday's election, he could potentially decide to authorize another strike against Iran before leaving office.

Preparations are advancing for a short but intensive campaign that could target Iran's nuclear facilities, energy infrastructure and missile and drone arsenal.

Netanyahu had pressed Trump to support renewed military action, in part due to Israeli concerns over Iranian activity related to its nuclear program.
