About half of those in the United States asked by a recent poll believed their country was headed toward war with Iran in the not-so-distant future, and many blamed the policies of President Donald Trump.
Tuesday's poll, however, found that 49 percent in the U.S. disapproved of Trump's handling of Iran, as opposed to 39 percent who supported him. The nuclear deal—still backed by fellow signatories China, the EU, France, Germany, Russia and the United Kingdom—was supported by some 61 percent of those asked, including 55 percent who identified as Republican.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration has talked up the threat posed by the Islamic Republic on the ground and at sea. Lawmakers briefed Tuesday on evidence that was purported to show Iran was secretly loading small traditional sailing vessels called dhows with missiles. Other intelligence reportedly pointed to Iran plotting attacks via allied militias in Iraq, from which the U.S. recently pulled diplomatic staff.

Many blame Trump for everything.
Says what survey of what populace and how many respondents?
Would be a catastrophe all around. Elections matter. Vote in 2020.
They probably need to print money again to boost the economy...it almost seems that every time the US needs an economic boost, there’s a war 🤷♀️👀
There won’t be a war with the USA, if anything, Israel will bomb them first.
Same path as with N Korea, promised they would not make nuclear weapons, oops they lied. Iran is the same. Trump the only one to call them out. The Chamberlain's of the world will never get it, evil lies.
Surprised we've stayed out of war this long. Repubs usually love war. Makes money and decreases the surplus population.
Only those who are WOKE know the truth, lol
