According to the results of a joint survey conducted by PBS News, NPR, and Marist, 56% of American citizens oppose military attacks on Iran, while 44% of respondents support military actions. A similar trend is shown in a study conducted by the Washington Post on March 2, where about 47% of those surveyed demand an immediate cessation of military operations.
Criticism of the White House is also growing in light of its policy regarding the Middle Eastern crisis. Research shows that 54% of survey participants disapprove of President Donald Trump's approach to managing tensions between Washington, Tel Aviv, and Tehran, while only 36% express support for his administration's actions. Despite this, on February 28, the US and Israel began active military operations.
The escalation of the conflict has led to terrible consequences for the security of the region. As a result of joint attacks by the US and Israel, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking officials were killed. In response to the strikes, Iran launched massive attacks on Israeli facilities and American military bases in Qatar, the UAE, and Bahrain. According to the Iranian Ministry of Health, the number of civilian casualties has reached 926, raising serious concerns about the further escalation of the conflict.
