US-Iran conflict reaches 100-day mark with low public support and economic strain.
The US and Israel launched strikes on Iran on February 28, leading to ongoing conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. A truce reached on April 6 has held without intense fighting, but skirmishes and blockades persist. Public opinion polls show the war is unpopular among Americans, with voters citing economic impacts and questioning whether the war serves US interests.
