WASHINGTON, March 1 (Reuters) - Only one in four Americans approves of the U.S. strikes that killed Iran’s leader, while about half — including one in four Republicans — believe President Donald Trump is too willing to use military force, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that concluded on Sunday.

Some 27% of respondents said they approved of the strikes, while 43% disapproved and 29% were not sure. About nine in 10 respondents said they had heard at least a little about the strikes, which began early on Saturday.

The poll was conducted during the strikes on Iran by the U.S. and Israel, and closed before the U.S. military announced the first American casualties in the operation. Three U.S. service members have been killed and five more seriously wounded since the strikes, which plunged the Middle East into a new, unpredictable conflict.

I blame the left and their media for they’re lack of telling the public the truth about the 47 years this has been brewing

That’s right. If you don’t support this, then you are sadly uneducated about the truth of what’s been going on for 47 years.

There is no rational alternative to Trump, but this seems like a broken promise.

They never had to bury a loved one or colleague from Iran’s violent acts towards the US.

Do they seriously want Iran to get nuclear weapons? Every Iranian that I have met in the US says they’re crazy nuts. They hate America and Israel. You’re right in that it reflects a serious ignorance of the history with them. It’s been a long time coming.

Didn’t Trump talk about ending “forever wars”?

Didn’t he talk about protecting the US?

Isn’t this an extension of the Abraham Accords wherein he was able to get all the major players in the area to agree to make peace?

What promises do you think Trump broke?

The minute they shouted “death to America”, that was grounds for an attack.

but seriously, do people not understand just how evil the regime in Iran is? How much turmoil they’ve caused in the world? Do they not even care what would happen to civilization if Iran obtained the bomb?

When raggedy people say they intend to kill you, take them seriously.

Heck of a difference between ground troops and E warfare. Does the guy with the game controller in the Pentagon get a campaign ribbon?

And, just think how bad the polling will be if Americans start dying in large numbers.

Trump needs to an take off-ramp. Play up having killed Khamenei and reducing Iran's missile capabilities and get the best deal possible.
