Trump cancelled two campaign rallies, and Vance called off a visit to Minnesota without explanation, amid tension with Iran. The US vice president defended American intervention and pledged to avoid an open-ended war.

US-Iran relations have been tense for years, shaped by disputes over Iran's nuclear programme, US sanctions, and regional rivalry involving groups backed by Tehran.
