Tensions surrounding the war with Iran are escalating as the conflict enters its second month. Recent events include Iranian strikes on a Saudi military base injuring U.S. troops, retaliatory strikes by Israel on Iranian infrastructure, and the involvement of Iranian-backed Houthi militants who fired missiles at Israel. Public disapproval of the war is growing, with a Reuters-Ipsos poll indicating that 61% of respondents actively disapprove.
