Significant decline in American support for Israel
In the aftermath of the failed Israeli-US attack on Iran, a new poll finds public support for Tel Aviv reaching new lows.
Two out of three Americans now admit that Israel has too much influence over foreign policy.
For the first time, and by two percentage points, US voters now oppose the war in Gaza and are currently more inclined to support arming Ukraine than Israel.
It appears that Americans are growing tired of supporting, funding, and, arming Israel's nonstop warmongering.
Most people have not seen such a devastating war and devastating genocide, on the Palestinian people, on the many people, on the Iranian people, on the Syrian Lebanese people, Iraqi people.
It's a full-scale regional war that the Zionists, backed by the United States, have waged, and so I think people are starting to see that not only do they not benefit from it, but that there's many people that seem to cheer for, essentially, the defeat of their own government.

The poll also found that 75% of voters think that despite the current ceasefire, the conflict could re-escalate into a wider war.
To prevent just that, a bill which would have blocked US President Donald Trump from taking future military action against Iran, was voted on, but was just barely defeated in the Senate.
We should not go to war against Iran. First, let me state the obvious: Trump's attack against Iran is unconstitutional.
Congress alone has the authority to take this country into war, not the president.

Across the nation's mainstream media, there is increasing realization that Washington's attack on Iran wasn't as effective as Trump claims, and also that its scope was so limited because Iran's military might, social unity and widespread public support for the Islamic Revolution of 1979 make the idea of war on Iran dangerous for any aggressor.
We couldn't defeat the Taliban militarily over two decades. And so the belief that you could defeat the IRGC, defeat the military might of Iran; I think it's a different country.
It's a different context, and people are blinded, perhaps, by their patriotism and their jingoism in any war.
But of course, ultimately, what we need is just peace, cooperation, and, an end to the sanctions regime.

Polls taken after Trump's bombing make the national mood perfectly clear; 85% of the country does not want war with Iran, compared to just 5%, who do, with a majority of Americans disapproving of Trump's handling of Iran.
