The war that the US and Israel launched against Iran has entered its 100th day today.
The war continues and the ongoing talks for a ceasefire have not been concluded. Various surveys have shown that the American public has a negative view of the war. The lack of public support for the war could put political pressure on President Donald Trump and his Republican Party. Even before the war began, opinion polls showed that most Americans were against military action against Iran. Even after the war began, public opinion has not changed significantly. According to Shibli Telhami, a professor of peace and development studies at the University of Maryland, who is involved in war studies and surveys, many Americans do not believe that the war has protected American interests.
It is estimated that the growing dissatisfaction with the war could create additional challenges for the Trump administration. Democrats are aiming to regain a majority in Congress in the upcoming November midterm elections. If that happens, it is said that it may be difficult to implement the policies and plans of the remaining term of the Trump administration.
A poll released Thursday found that only 16 percent of American voters believe the United States is winning or has already won the war. This suggests that the general American public is not convinced by President Trump's repeated claims of victory.
The survey showed that most voters believe the war has had more negative than positive effects on American interests. This includes 33 percent of Republicans.
Meanwhile, only 12 percent of respondents said the war has had more positive than negative effects. The survey shows that 25 percent of Republicans hold this view.
What has happened so far in the US-Iran war?
The US and Israel launched a bombing campaign against Iran on February 28, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
In response, Iran launched missile and drone attacks targeting Israel and various locations in the region. In addition, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, a vital sea route for energy transportation. This led to a sharp increase in oil and gas prices on the world market.
Despite a ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran on April 6, clashes have continued from time to time. In addition, Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has not yet been lifted. Meanwhile, the US has also maintained its own naval blockade of Iranian ports.
