🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇷 A new poll shows 79% of Americans expect the Iran war to drag on, a 14-point surge as the blockade returns...
-Per Reuters/Ipsos, 79% of Americans now expect U.S. military involvement in Iran to "go on for an extended period," up from 65% in late March
-Only 18% believe it ends "pretty quickly in a matter of weeks"
-Just 37% approve of the retaliatory strikes against Iran, despite the campaign answering deadly attacks on civilian shipping
-60% expect gas prices to worsen over the next year because of the war, and half say it hasn't been worth its costs
-Republican strategists warn rising living costs have neutralized the political benefits of Trump's tax cuts heading into the midterms
The gap between the battlefield and the living room is the story.
Trump touts a demolished Iranian military and "20 to 1" ratios, and Americans just hear "extended period" and see gas prices.
A war winning every exchange but losing the patience of four in five voters is exactly the political box that forced June's off-ramp, and it's only tightened since.

🇱🇧🇮🇱 An Israeli soldier stopped for a photo in front of a Hezbollah memorial in Bint Jbeil, southern Lebanon
Bint Jbeil is the town where Hassan Nasrallah stood in the year 2000, after Israel's withdrawal, and delivered his famous "spider's web" speech
He declared Israeli society weak and crumbling, "weaker than a spider's web," to a roaring crowd in the town stadium
Israel just captured that stadium
The 98th Division has encircled the town and killed over 100 Hezbollah fighters, including members of the elite Radwan Force
The IDF division commander sent his troops a message referencing Nasrallah's speech:
“Someone here spoke and boasted about webs and spiders
Today, that man no longer exists, the stadium is gone, and his words are worth nothing.”
In 2006, Israel fought a brutal battle here and failed to take the town, it became one of Hezbollah's most celebrated military victories
This time, it looks very different

Six Iranian gunboats armed with .50cal machine guns approached the American-flagged, Danish-owned oil tanker M/T STENA IMPERATIVE earlier today near the Strait of Hormuz in a threatening manner, after the vessel departed the United Arab Emirates bound for the Naval Support Activity Bahrain on the Persian Gulf.
According to the Maritime-security firm Vanguard Tech, the Iranian gunboats ordered the oil tanker to halt and prepare for boarding by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). In response to the threat, the tanker sped up and was not further perused by the gunboats, later meeting up with a U.S. naval vessel that escorted the tanker the remaining way to Bahrain.
