Since early 2026, US-Iran tensions have escalated following Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's urging of President Trump to attack Iran, leading to a prolonged conflict with no clear resolution. Public opinion in the US has turned increasingly against the war and Israel, complicating political dynamics ahead of elections.

Meanwhile, global allies express growing uncertainty about US foreign policy consistency amid shifting international alliances and regional concerns.
