Polls show that President Donald Trump’s war against Iran has strong support among MAGA voters, despite criticism from conservative commentators. How long the president can maintain that support, as war costs rise and gas prices mount at home, is unclear.

The United States and Iran are threatening to target critical infrastructure as the war in the Middle East puts lives and livelihoods at risk. 

Iran has shown they can do a lot of damage to United States and Israeli assets – and regional allies in the Gulf – via missile and drone attacks. Ukraine can help stop it.

President Donald Trump has extended his deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, saying the U.S. will hold off on power plant strikes for five days. Mr. Trump said the U.S. and Iran have had “very good and productive conversations” that could yield “a complete and total resolution” in the war.

A surprise U.S. military intervention took down Venezuela’s president. But a U.S. attempt at something similar in Cuba would probably be very different. 

Both sides in the war are finding it hard to enlist help from other countries – a clear sign that they are out of alignment with international law. The war might help set new norms that help keep the peace.
