Will the US-Iran war continue to weigh on US politics and the economy?
The US-Israel-Iran war has reached its 100-day mark, bringing growing political and economic challenges for President Donald Trump. The conflict began after a US-Israeli strike killed Iran's Supreme Leader and senior officials, prompting Iranian retaliation and the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz. The disruption pushed oil and gas prices higher, increasing inflation and affecting households across the United States.
With only 16% of voters believing the US is winning the war and 79% saying it has raised their cost of living, the conflict has become a major domestic issue. As midterm elections approach, analysts warn of significant political consequences.
