Washington, July 27 /Xinhua/ — According to the results of a new survey published on Monday, only one-third of Americans support the war against Iran — the lowest figure since the beginning of the conflict, which has now lasted five months.

A survey by Reuters and the research firm Ipsos, conducted from July 24 to 26, showed that 69 percent of Americans — including 40 percent of Republicans — believe that US President Donald Trump “has not clearly explained the goals of the US military intervention in Iran.”

Since the start of the American-Israeli strikes on February 28, the level of support for the conflict has not exceeded 40 percent.

More and more surveys indicate growing public dissatisfaction with the war. According to the results of a recent survey published by The Washington Post together with Ipsos, 68 percent of Americans believe that this war “is not worth it.”

D. Trump announced on Monday his decision to suspend American strikes on Iran to give the negotiations another chance, warning that he might order the resumption of strikes if talks with the Islamic Republic fail.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth requested additional funding for the war during Senate hearings last week, stating that to date it has cost $37.5 billion, exceeding the May estimate of $29 billion.
