President Donald Trump’s war with Iran is widely unpopular with the American people.
According to a Reuters poll conducted on Sunday, only 27% of Americans support the US attacking Iran. 43% of Americans oppose the war.
Trump ordered the war on Iran on Saturday morning. The US and Iran were in the process of negotiating a deal when the war started. The initial strikes killed several top Iranian officials, including the Supreme Leader.
On Sunday afternoon, the Department of War reported the US had bombed over 1,000 targets in Iran.
The U.S. military says it has hit more than 1,000 targets in strikes against Iran so far.

Tehran has responded by attacking Israel and US bases in the Middle East. At least ten people have been killed in Israel, and Central Command reports three US soldiers have been killed.
US and Israeli strikes on Iran have also hit civilian targets. On Saturday, a girls’ school was bombed, killing over 150 people. On Sunday, a US or Israeli strike damaged an Iranian hospital.
Congress has not issued a Declaration of War or otherwise authorized the President to attack Iran. The House is scheduled to vote this week on a War Powers Act resolution intended to constrain the President’s war-making against Iran.
