Al Jazeera has reported that the killing of two American soldiers in Iranian attacks and the disappearance of another soldier in Jordan could increase political pressure on U.S. President Donald Trump. The U.S. military has confirmed these casualties in a statement. According to the report, with this incident, the total number of American soldiers killed during the war with Iran has reached 16. Previously, 13 American soldiers had died in the initial stages of the conflict, followed by the death of a pilot in a crash, bringing total casualties to 14. Al Jazeera, citing analysts, noted that these developments have occurred at a sensitive time for Trump, as public support for the war within the United States is described as fragile. Analysts believe that the rising casualties could expand opposition to the continuation of the war. Several polls in the U.S. indicate that a significant portion of Americans do not support the war against Iran. In the latest instance, a CBS News and YouGov poll showed that 57 percent of respondents believe the war has not only failed to solve problems but has created additional challenges. Meanwhile, reports indicate that disruptions in the global oil supply chain resulting from the war have led to rising prices, a factor observers say could also impact Trump\u2019s popularity. His approval ratings since his return to power have experienced fluctuations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
