The war between the United States and Iran has been ongoing for six months, with both sides pressuring each other through airstrikes, retaliation, and blockades. However, negotiations are at a standstill. President Trump mentioned the possibility of negotiations, but Iran declared that it would not participate in any negotiations. Thousands have died in the United States, Iran, and Lebanon due to the war, and the cost of the war for the United States has reached $37.5 billion. Domestic support for the war remains in the 30% range, with a significant difference in views between conservatives and progressive/centrist groups.
