During this weekend's election campaign, US Vice President Harris and former President Trump spoke briefly about Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military bases. "Israel is striking - we are fighting a war and she (Harris) is out partying," Trump said at a rally in Michigan, where Harris was campaigning with Beyoncé in Texas. Meanwhile, Harris called on Saturday for "de-escalation rather than escalation in the region". "I feel very strongly, and all of America, that Iran must stop the threat it poses to the region and we will always protect Israel from any attack by Iran in this way," she told reporters.
