Polling and Senate votes shape political battle over Trump's Iran ceasefire deal.
President Trump signed a preliminary ceasefire agreement with Iran on June 17, 2026, aimed at ending a months-long conflict. Multiple polls show Americans skeptical the war was worth its costs and doubtful the deal will bring lasting peace, though support exists for specific provisions like nuclear inspections. The Senate held competing votes on war powers resolutions, with Republicans reversing an initial passage after Trump's intervention.
