War With Iran Hits Six Months as US Approval for the Conflict Sinks to 31%

Six months into the US-Israel war on Iran, a costly stalemate over the Strait of Hormuz has left the conflict deeply unpopular, with only 31% of Americans supporting the war and Trump's approval at 33% in a new Reuters/Ipsos poll. With midterms looming in November, the war has become a defining political liability for the administration. Listen for how the six-month milestone reframes the war as a domestic electoral problem rather than a foreign policy fight.
