Overview

• Israel launched airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities last week and Iran has responded with missile and drone attacks on Israeli territory
• President Trump said “I may do it, I may not do it” when pressed on U.S. strikes and the Pentagon has deployed additional capabilities to the Middle East
• A Fox News poll shows 73% of registered voters believe Iran poses a real threat to U.S. security, marking a 13-point rise since 2019
• Washington Post surveys find 45% of Americans oppose U.S. airstrikes on Iran, 25% support them and 30% are unsure, with Republicans more inclined to back military action than Democrats
• U.S. intelligence assessments and the UN’s nuclear watchdog report that Iran still lacks the capability to build a nuclear weapon, and many Americans worry deeper involvement could increase global danger
