Iran (IMNA) - The survey revealed that while 15% of participants are confident Trump has achieved his goals, 20% believe he will never achieve them, and another 25% think the US president has not yet reached his objectives. The report also indicated that Trump has failed to convince the American people of the necessity of war with Iran.
Despite the White House having had sufficient time to justify its actions, only 38% of Americans still support the attacks on Iran — a figure unchanged since the early days of the war. A majority of participants, 53%, believe that the war with Iran is not in the best interest of the American people. Additionally, a significant number of respondents, including some of Trump's supporters in the 2024 election, remain unconvinced that the president has clear goals in this war. Furthermore, 49% of those surveyed said that Trump spends too much time on international affairs rather than domestic issues.
Politico stressed that Trump now faces the reality that the Iran war and its consequences could undermine the Republican Party's chances of victory in the upcoming US midterm elections.
US Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, who had previously criticized the president's warmongering policies against Iran, stated, "Donald Trump dragged our country into a war that no one voted for." He noted that the $200 billion the White House requested to pay for the war on Iran would be enough to "fund a decade, ten full years of nationwide, universal pre-kindergarten." Ossoff added, "Instead? A war no one voted for and no one can explain."
Ossoff further noted that Trump's war on Iran has already caused the deaths of 13 US soldiers and thousands of civilians, triggered "sky-rocketing inflation," and done "massive damage to our reputation." Yet, he emphasized, "the regime is intact" as is "its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which it only assembled after Donald Trump shredded President Obama's Iran deal."
Tensions escalated after a joint US-Israeli aggression against Iran on February 28, 2026, amidst indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington. Iran subsequently launched retaliatory strikes against US and Israeli assets in the region and announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to vessels linked to the parties involved in the conflict.
