Poll Shows Most Americans Expect Prolonged US-Iran Conflict Amid Rising Uncertainty
A recent CBS News poll shows most Americans expect the US-Iran conflict to continue for months or years, with 76% saying it has been harder than the Trump administration anticipated. Many feel uncertain or frustrated about the war's progress, and only 19% are optimistic. Younger Americans favor ending the conflict sooner. Meanwhile, officials express doubts about a near-term resolution, with renewed fighting and regional tensions, including incidents in the Strait of Hormuz, contributing to ongoing uncertainty.
