Washington, Mar 2 (V7N) — A recent nationwide poll shows sharp divisions within the United States following the country’s latest military strike on Iran and the reported killing of its top leader. The survey indicates that public support for the operation remains limited, with significant concern over the broader use of military force.

According to a survey conducted by Reuters in partnership with Ipsos, only about 25 percent of Americans support the recent US military action against Iran.

The online poll, carried out shortly after the launch of military operations on February 28, surveyed 1,282 adult Americans nationwide. Coverage of the findings was also reported by Al Jazeera.

The results show that 27 percent of respondents expressed support for the strike, while 43 percent opposed it outright. Another 29 percent said they were unsure or had not reached a firm conclusion.

The survey also highlights broader concerns regarding President Donald Trump and his approach to military engagement. Approximately 56 percent of respondents believe the president is too inclined to use military force under the justification of protecting national interests.

Recent US-directed operations in countries such as Venezuela, Syria, and Nigeria have further fueled debate over the administration’s foreign policy strategy.

Political divisions are particularly pronounced. About 87 percent of Democratic supporters consider the decision to be wrong, while 60 percent of independent voters oppose the military action. Notably, skepticism is not limited to opposition ranks — roughly one in four Republican supporters also believe the president shows excessive eagerness in deploying military force.

The findings underscore a period of heightened political tension in the United States, as public opinion remains fragmented over the country’s role in escalating geopolitical conflicts.
