- Following its February 28 start, the conflict has persisted beyond the 60-day ceasefire extension dissolved earlier this month, despite President Donald Trump initially predicting victory within four to six weeks.
- Gasoline prices have surged past $4 a gallon, while 18 U.S. service members have died; 69% of Americans say Trump has not "clearly explained the goals of U.S. military involvement in Iran."
