A new CNN poll has revealed that nearly 6 in 10 Americans disapprove of the US's military action in Iran, according to the poll. President Donald Trump stated that the US military is "knocking the crap" out of Iran but the "big wave" is yet to come. Meanwhile, Iran has launched retaliatory attacks on Israeli and US military bases in several countries. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claimed the US strikes were not a "regime change war". Oil prices have also increased as the war with Iran escalates.
