Support for Iran war sinks as doubts over Trump grow: Poll

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll reveals that only 33% of Americans support the U.S. war against Iran, the lowest level since the conflict began five months ago. The poll indicates that 69% of respondents, including 40% of Republicans, believe President Donald Trump has not clearly explained the goals of U.S. military involvement in Iran. This low approval rate contrasts with earlier conflicts like the Iraq War and Afghanistan War, which initially enjoyed broader public support. The war has led to rising gasoline prices, impacting American households, and is affecting Trump's standing ahead of the November midterm elections. Political strategists note that this disapproval could negatively impact the Republican Party's chances of maintaining control of Congress.

Oil industry sees war windfall but girds for political blowback

U.S. oil companies experienced significant profit increases during the U.S.-Iran conflict, driven by a supply shock caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This has led to soaring gasoline prices, exceeding $4 per gallon, which has become a political issue for President Donald Trump ahead of the midterm elections. Despite his support for the fossil fuel industry, Trump criticized rising prices and ordered an investigation into potential price gouging.
