Conservative opposition to the Iran war has led to a decrease in support for President Donald Trump, with many voters claiming they are walking away from him over the controversial military operation. The letters included criticism that the war was wasteful tax dollars, a betrayal of Trump's "no new wars policy," and that it would negatively impact the Republican Party's chances in the midterms. The majority of the letters focused on the economy and the rising price of gas due to the attacks on Middle East's oil reserves and processing equipment. So far, over 1,937 people have been killed in the war, including dozens of political leaders, and at least 13 U.S. soldiers have been wounded.
