100 Days into Iran War, Trump Struggles to Win Public Support
Follow spoken words in real time.
One hundred days after the United States entered the conflict with Iran, public and political pressure on President Donald Trump is increasing. Support for the war stays limited as many Americans worry about higher fuel prices and the economic impact. Polls show that people are not sure the war has achieved its aims.
The conflict has caused disruptions to oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. This has contributed to higher energy prices and more inflation. Many voters are now concerned about the effect on the US economy before the 2026 midterm elections.
Efforts to end the war by negotiations have not succeeded. Talks between the United States and Iran have made little progress. As a result, there are worries that the conflict will continue for a long time and could affect other parts of the world.
