  "account": "A new poll released on Monday shows that support for the US-Iran war has fallen to its lowest since the conflict began on February 28, with only 31% of respondents approving of the military operations. This decline in support comes after President Donald Trump launched the conflict in March, with approval ratings falling from 37% then to 34% earlier in the month. The Reuters/Ipsos poll indicates that growing opposition among Republicans is the primary reason for the decline in support. The US is now focusing on tightening sanctions and expanding secondary sanctions to isolate Iran's economy, targeting sectors such as digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping. White House spokesperson Davis Ingle dismissed the poll findings, stating that the US President is taking decisive action to eliminate threats and keep Americans safe. However, Trump administration officials have recently indicated that Washington is shifting towards an \"economic onslaught\" against Iran instead of pursuing a military campaign.",
  "summary": "The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll released Monday revealed that support for the US-Iran war is declining, with only 31 per cent of Americans now backing the military operation as more Republicans grow wary of the conflict, which has entered its sixth month.",
