President Donald Trump has threatened to resume military operations against Iran as the Pentagon faces accusations of disrespecting war dead. The criticism stems from a controversial decision by the Pentagon to classify the conflict with Iran as two separate campaigns, which critics argue is an attempt to minimize casualty figures.

Meanwhile, public opinion data reveals low backing for the ongoing military actions in the Middle East. A Reuters/Ipsos survey released Tuesday indicates that only 33 percent of Americans approve of the U.S. attacks on Iran, while 62 percent disapprove, and nearly 70 percent expressed other concerns regarding the conflict.
