Americans feel pinch of continued Iran war: ‘It’s screwed everything up’

The News

The ongoing US-Israel war on Iran, which began five months ago, has become a prolonged conflict with no clear resolution, despite initial expectations of a short campaign. Iran's Supreme Leader was killed in early strikes, ceasefires have failed, and the Strait of Hormuz has been intermittently closed. American voters are feeling economic strain through higher fuel and grocery costs, as well as deployment orders, adding to existing debates over US foreign policy following the Gaza war.
