US public support for Iran war falls as Trump approval at record low: Poll
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll indicates that public support for the US military conflict with Iran has fallen to its lowest level, alongside record-low approval ratings for President Donald Trump. Economic concerns, particularly rising gas prices, are cited as key factors driving this shift in public opinion.
