Original Note:
Diverse sources say Tim Walz was most likely confusing Iran and Israel and tripping over his words in this statement. This is clearer from the statements before and after, and the fact that the original quote is Israel "and its proxies"- which this post notably excludes. https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/vance-walz-vice-presidential-debate-election-2024/card/tim-walz-trips-over-his-words-in-vp-debate-n0fYFC6qv9qfx0MCih7C https://time.com/7027572/vance-walz-debate-top-moments-quotes/ https://freebeacon.com/israel/tim-walz-asked-whether-hed-support-an-israeli-strike-on-irans-nuclear-program-pivots-to-crowd-size/ https://nypost.com/2024/10/01/us-news/walz-stumbles-on-first-question-at-vp-debate-confuses-israel-and-iran/
