  "summary": "US public approval of the war with Iran has fallen to its lowest level since the conflict's early days. According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, 31 percent of Americans support US military action against Iran, down from 37 percent in March and 34 percent earlier this month. The decline in support is attributed to fewer self-identified Republicans backing the conflict, with 69 percent of Republican respondents now supporting the war, compared to 77 percent in March.\n\nThe war has been affecting President Donald Trump's public standing, with his approval rating holding at a record low of 33 percent. The poll also found that 83 percent of respondents believe the war will continue for an extended period. The survey, which had a margin of error of 3 percent, was conducted among 1,215 US adults nationwide.\n\nThe US Treasury Secretary has announced a new wave of sanctions against Iran and its \"enablers\" as part of \"Operation Economic Outcast\". The goal is to achieve an \"asphyxiation of this regime\". The Secretary stated that Iran faces a choice between global isolation and a subsistence economy, or a path back to normalcy and rejoining the global economy.",
