The US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, who engaged in indirect talks with Iran regarding their nuclear ambitions, have been criticized for not taking action against Iran. Despite this, President Donald Obama made clear in his presidency that Iran would not be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon on his watch. Despite these efforts, both parties have failed to achieve their objectives. Despite a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that half of U.S. adults are extremely concerned about Iran's nuclear program, while half are concerned that it poses a direct threat to the United States. Since the military strikes on Iran started, only one in four Americans approve of them, while nearly 6 in 10 Americans disapprove of the US decision to take military action in Iran.
