Event Summary

A Reuters/Ipsos poll revealed that only one in four Americans approves of the US strikes that killed Iran's leader, Ali Khamenei, and other senior officials. The poll, conducted during ongoing US-Israeli strikes on Iran, also found that about half of Americans believe President Donald Trump is too willing to use military force. The strikes have led to American casualties and retaliatory actions from Iran, including airstrikes on Israel and US military bases in Gulf states. Concerns about rising fuel prices and potential harm to US troops have also emerged, with Brent Crude prices surging. The event has sparked debate within the United States regarding Donald Trump's authority to use military force without congressional approval, further highlighting the geopolitical and economic implications of the conflict.
