The post comes after Iranian President Massoud Bassashkin claimed that some countries have begun mediation efforts over the conflict.

Gonzalez said in a statement that after, quote, deep reflection and discussions with his family, he's decided to step away from the race while continuing to serve his district through the end of this Congress.

The decision came hours after top House Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson, urged him to drop his reelection bid as the House Ethics Committee moves forward with an investigation tied to findings from the Office of Congressional Conduct.

Republican leaders say the ethics probe should proceed quickly, while Gonzalez's choice to remain in office could be significant for the GOP's narrow four-seat majority in the House.
