A Fox News poll indicates that public opposition to US military action against Iran is rising, with disapproval of President Donald Trump’s handling of the issue reaching a record high in July. The findings matter because they suggest limited public support for an extended conflict and potential political pressure on the administration’s approach.

According to the survey, 56% of voters oppose military action against Iran, including 40% who strongly oppose it. Nearly two-thirds believe the conflict would last at least a year, pointing to widespread expectations of a prolonged US commitment; the article also notes that opposition is higher among Democrats.
