A Reuters/Ipsos survey reveals that only one in three Americans supports military action against Iran, a figure that speaks to something older than any single administration's posture — the enduring wariness of a public that has lived through the costs of distant wars. More striking still is the widespread confusion about what the United States actually seeks to accomplish, suggesting that the space between government intention and public understanding has grown wide enough to become a strategic liability in its own right.

Similar to 2003 Iraq War polling where initial support eroded; public skepticism of Middle East military interventions reflects post-Iraq/Afghanistan fatigue and constrains presidential war-making authority.
