Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said that if he is not elected, the Iran nuclear deal will destroy "Israel".

Last year's sanctions-relief-for-nuclear-rollback deal "is going to destroy "Israel" - unless I get elected," Trump told Cleveland area labor leaders on Monday, according to The Columbus Dispatch. "Then "Israel" will be just fine."

In Virginia, meanwhile, Hillary Clinton's running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., defended the Iran deal and dismissed Trump's concerns about "Israel" as insincere, saying the Republican's strategy for "Israel" was to "pat them on the back and tell them good luck."

Unlike many of his rivals during the Republican primaries, Trump has not said he would scrap the agreement, but he has criticized it, saying it was a bad deal.

On Tuesday, addressing a town hall in Virginia Beach, Virginia, a town with a substantial military population, Trump again attacked the deal, but did not directly answer a question posed by one of his advisers, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, about what he would do about it.

Trump said the deal had rendered Iran a "world power" whereas it had been a regional power previously. "The deal is one of the worst negotiated deals I have ever seen," he said.

"They're highly threatening to the State of "Israel", they're so bad for "Israel"," he said of Iran, blaming Clinton and Obama for empowering the Islamic Republic.

Speaking the same day in Wilmington, North Carolina, Kaine ridiculed Trump's confident claims that he would protect "Israel".

"Thanks in part to the global sanctions coalition that Hillary Clinton assembled, and negotiations that she initiated, President Obama ultimately achieved a historic agreement that put a lid on Iran's nuclear program without firing a single shot," Kaine said.
