Senator Elizabeth Warren, at a campaign event in Brooklyn on Tuesday night, called for a de-escalation of tensions in the Middle East.

"The American people do not want a war with Iran," Warren, a leading Democratic presidential candidate, said.

Tonight, my prayers are with our service members, our diplomats and personnel serving in Iraq, and their families—and all the people in the region.
