Over 80% of Americans worried about Iran conflict growing after US strikes

The majority of Americans are concerned about heightened tensions between Iran and the U.S., a poll finds.

A new poll by Reuters and Ipsos shows that 84 percent of Americans are concerned about the conflict between the United States and Iran intensifying after President Donald Trump authorized strikes on Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend. The poll shows that 32 percent of Americans support continued airstrikes on Iran compared to 49 percent who don't. Republicans are more supportive of potential ongoing strikes, as the poll shows that 62 percent approve versus 22 percent who do not. Only 12 percent of Democrats support additional strikes versus 74 percent who do not. The poll has a margin of error of 3 percentage points. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday: "Americans didn't vote for another endless war in the Middle East. What Donald Trump has done in Iran is unconstitutional. This week, the Senate must make clear to the world that the U.S. is not going to war with Iran."

During his election campaign, Trump ran on a promise to end all US participation in "forever wars". Yet Trump jumped at an opportunity to help Israel PM Netanyahu bomb Iranian sites.

Trump will order the US military into action in a heartbeat if he believes doing so will help his underwater polling numbers here at home. Ordering US Marines into LA wasn't enough, so he ordered USAF strikes on Iran.

A part of this is why Trump is pushing the "EVERYTHING'S OBLITERATED!!" narrative, because anything short of that leaves an open door to more strikes. Israel seems to be pitching this narrative too, but since we're not 100% sure, both parties need to convince everyone otherwise. The current advantage here is Iran isn't really keen on escalating, it would make much more sense to play dead and begin strategizing next steps to further secure their nuclear program. While the main sites were hit, there are others as well, which is why I keep coming back to this only being resolved through a treaty.

I would bet that those 80% are now happy with the cease fire. In effect, the bombing of the nuke sites ended the war. Bravo!

Why should Israel have all the hate? We love to meddle in foreign politics. It’s a US tradition that even presidents who claim they despise foreign intervention jump right in the second they are elected. Same as it ever was. Now we get to deal with potential consequences. We’ve learned nothing in the Middle East.

 

[Blue Dog]

Not shocked in the least.

Always a great idea to pick a fight with a country that sponsors terrorism and has it’s people chanting “Death to America”.

Great job Mr President, you could not have kicked a bigger hornets nest in the ME…..

So you prefer the alternative of those same people obtaining weapons of Mass destruction?

Most preferred the method of strengthening the JCOP diplomatically and improving compliance as opposed to another violent multi billion dollar forever war. Sadly that ship has sailed.

If you are even marginally thinking down that rabbit hole; you are completely oblivious to the last four decades of very evidentiary history to the contrary.

The lessons of 9/11 are already forgotten it would seem.

Well those 80% can relax because the war with Iran is over.

Oh I don't think so. I think Trump is fully cognizant of the public concern and even, resentment, which is why he made a point of pressuring Israel to knock off the bombing immediately which Israel did, and thus, so did Iran so that's where we are. Trump is not a warmonger. Wars aren't his thing

They should hoist a mission accomplished banner in your honor. Most of us realize this is just a return to step one.

Trump = more forever wars

What's Trump's next target? Canada? Greenland? Panama?

I get it. You were hoping for a disaster so you could come here and bash Trump. Well thats not going to happen. My condolences. Keep the hate engines alive though, there will be a new outrage for you just around the corner.

Nobody likes forever wars. Even Vietnam started out with positive public support. Same with Afghanistan. I don't blame anyone for fearing that attacking Iran's nuke sites would get us into a long war, however the attack instead ended an ongoing war. That's why politicians are charged with making those decisions, sometimes they make the right decisions, sometimes not. Trump's action stopped a war and prevented the prospect of an extremely fanatical Islamic regime one day threatening the world with nukes. In the very least, Iran gaining nukes would have set up a nuclear arms race in the middle east.

False dichotomy much?

You say you get it but your words indicate otherwise.

Except this Trump 'war' lasted what? about an hour?

What's Trump's next target? Canada? Greenland? Panama?

Liberal tears

Why lie about this? You and every other lib here wanted this to be a disaster so you could throw it in Trumps face. Well it was a success and the ones with egg on their faces is the hateful left. Enjoy your breakfast

Not all of them though, which is why some are still concerned. Not to mention the varying information on how much damage was done.

Starting wars does tend to generate long term consequences.

Like debt. The US is currently at 36 trillion of it. Each new ME entanglement will add trillions more.

But MAGA only cares about debt when they're not in power.

The fact you believe the bolded should cause everyone on these boards to question your ability to use anything resembling linear logic.

Your thinking the latest fracas in the sandbox being given some temporary time out as being the end of the war between Israel and Iran is akin to believing the Republicans are universal adherents of all Christian principles.

Actually, the information from all reputable sources indicate the damage was extensive. You are still clinging to the anonymous sources that represent your personal hopes and dreams.

Just because you don’t understand doesn’t make anything a lie. Hopefully the no tax on OT goes through soon because your fantasies are really putting in a lot of overtime.
