Nearly five months into a war he'd said would take a few weeks, Trump keeps trying to create maneuvering space against Tehran. But all the strategy seems to do is leave him with less room and worse choices. The war in Iran meanwhile continues to be a political anvil for the Trump administration. A new CBS News/YouGov poll reflects the president's chaotic messaging on the conflict, with only 31% of Americans saying they had a clear understanding of the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. Only 40% said the US had the advantage in the conflict. And 76% said the war with Iran had been harder than the Trump administration expected.
