A recent NBC News poll indicates that more Americans oppose U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities than support them, with 45% against and 38% in favor. The striking sentiment crosses party lines; 78% of Republicans support the strikes while 77% of Democrats oppose them. Independents show mixed reactions.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe claimed the airstrikes severely damaged Iran’s nuclear program, though a leaked military assessment disagrees.
