Poll finds most respondents say Trump underestimated Iran war

A CBS News/YouGov poll of 2,193 respondents found that more than three-fourths believe the Trump administration has faced more difficulty in the war with Iran than it expected, with 37% expecting the fighting to continue for months, more than 2 in 10 for years, 9% for days or weeks, and one-third unsure. Roughly two-thirds said President Trump should end the conflict now, while one-third said he should continue until the Iranian regime concedes more. Oil prices then fell sharply after Trump paused a 13-night U.S. bombing campaign against Iran, with Brent at one point down more than 8% and later quoted around $86.38 a barrel and WTI at $83.69, as fears of immediate disruption in the Strait of Hormuz eased. Iran said it would suspend its own attacks while the U.S. pause lasts, denied seeking renewed peace talks, and said it still intended to supervise transit through the strait, while drone incidents in Jordan and Iraq underscored doubts about a durable ceasefire.
