U.S. involvement in the war against Iran, amid criticism that it prioritizes Israeli interests over “America First,” is fueling political divisions, weakening Republican support, and raising historical concerns that the party of the sitting president could face major losses in the 2026 midterm elections.

Mojtaba Khamenei has been chosen by the Assembly of Experts as Iran’s new Supreme Leader after Ali Khamenei, a move expected to strengthen hardliners and potentially escalate tensions with the United States, as Donald Trump warned he could support assassinating him if Iran rejects U.S. demands.

As the war waged by the U.S. and “Israel” against Iran unfolds, reports suggest the Trump administration is trying to increase pressure on Tehran by bringing new regional actors into the conflict, including Kurdish forces in Iraqi Kurdistan.

After Donald Trump warned that Iran would face a very powerful strike with a wider range of targets, it quickly became clear that this was no ordinary military operation and that the strikes were aimed directly at the country’s critical infrastructure.

Support for the Israeli Occupation in the United States is declining as public opinion undergoes a rapid shift, especially among younger Americans.
