Poll: Most Americans believe a war against Iran would be a mistake
Most U.S. citizens view the decision to launch a military operation against Iran negatively.
This is according to a poll by The Washington Post, ABC News, and Ipsos.
According to the survey, 61% of Americans believe starting a war would be a mistake, while only 36% support the use of force.
The level of disapproval is comparable to assessments of previous conflicts involving the U.S.—the wars in Iraq and Vietnam.
Only 19% of respondents described military action against Iran as successful. At the same time, 41% believe it is too early to draw conclusions, and 39% are convinced that the operation has not yielded results.
Furthermore, most respondents doubt that the U.S. will be able to achieve its key objective—preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
Iran has submitted a new proposal to the United States regarding the resolution of the situation around the Strait of Hormuz and the cessation of hostilities. At the same time, Tehran proposes postponing nuclear negotiations to a later stage.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Iran continues to attempt to maintain control over the Strait of Hormuz. He emphasized that such approaches are unacceptable to the United States and underscored the importance of freedom of navigation in the region.
