More in US say Iran war will make world less safe: Survey

A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday shows 42 percent of American voters believe U.S. military operations against Iran are making the world less safe, compared to 35 percent who say such operations will increase global safety. The survey reflects deepening public skepticism about military intervention in Iran at a moment of heightened tensions in the Middle East. The 7-point gap between those viewing the conflict as destabilizing versus stabilizing suggests a plurality of Americans question the strategic rationale for escalation. The finding comes as the Trump administration has pursued a more confrontational posture toward Iran, including heightened military positioning in the region. Public opinion on military action abroad typically influences political pressure on policymakers and can shape the political sustainability of ongoing operations.
