Why It Matters

The ongoing war and economic pain threaten Trump’s electoral standing and could cost him support within his own party, inviting greater congressional oversight and constraining his foreign-policy flexibility ahead of the midterms.

Summary

One hundred days after President Donald Trump launched military action against Iran, fighting and stalled negotiations continue despite his public claims that a deal is near. The conflict, combined with inflation and rising prices, has driven public frustration and record-high disapproval ratings for Trump. Even some Republicans have broken ranks— the House approved a war powers resolution to curb his authority. With midterm elections looming, the war has shifted from an overseas policy issue to a central domestic political liability for the president.

Original Description

100 days into the conflict, there is still no deal between the US and Iran. For months, President Donald Trump has repeatedly suggested that an agreement was just around the corner. Yet fighting continues, negotiations remain stalled, and many Americans are beginning to ask whether his strategy is really working.
