Vast majority of Americans say Iran war was a mistake and want conflict to end
Vance claims Trump wants to ‘turn over new leaf’ in ties with Iranian people
A new CBS poll indicates that 78 per cent of Americans wish for the conflict with Iran to conclude, with 69 per cent believing the war was not worthwhile, and nearly six in ten stating it has caused more issues than it resolved.
Despite a recently signed ceasefire extension between US and Iranian officials, regional tensions have intensified following a renewed Israeli military operation in Lebanon, leading to Hezbollah’s response and Iran‘s threat to re-close the Strait of Hormuz.
The President reportedly issued a direct warning to Iranian leadership, threatening a full-scale invasion and occupation of the country if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened in accordance with the U.S.-Iran ceasefire terms.
The continuation of U.S.-Iran talks, with Vice President JD Vance currently in Switzerland, is uncertain amidst the President’s recent threats and the escalating regional instability.
The ceasefire agreement is a source of apprehension for Republicans, who anticipate potential political fallout in the upcoming midterm elections, while the conflict has led to the deaths of 13 US service members and sustained high petrol prices.
