Iran Nuclear Deal

Walz, Vance react to Iran's attack on Israel

Tuesday's vice presidential debate began with a question on the Middle East. CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent and "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan asked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Sen. JD Vance if they would approve a preemptive strike by Israel on Iran. Walz highlighted his support for Israel before pivoting to criticizing Trump and his foreign policy, while Vance said it's up to Israel to decide what it needs to do.

Iranian girls sickened by gas poisonings

The Iranian government says it will investigate incidents in which hundreds of girls in different schools were poisoned with gas over recent months. That follows widespread protests over the death of Mahsa Amini, who died in police custody after being detained for "improperly" wearing her headscarf. CBS News anchor Elaine Quijano and Errol Barnett spoke with Tara Kangarlou, global affairs journalist and author of "The Heartbeat of Iran," about the investigation.

Protesters clash with security forces in Iran

The Iranian army said it will confront "the enemies" responsible for the growing unrest across the country. The military's hard-line stance comes as Iran's president says authorities will open an investigation into the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who died while in the custody of the country's so-called morality police. Amini's death sparked nationwide demonstrations. Eric Lob, an associate professor of politics and international relations at Florida International University, joined CBS News to discuss the growing unrest.
