Majority of Americans think Trump’s Iran war will last months or even years, new poll shows

Context

U.S. and Iran pause attacks but chaos in Strait of Hormuz continues to drive up prices for war-weary Americans

What it means

This headline reflects a public opinion poll about the expected duration of an ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict — it adds no new military, diplomatic, or supply-disruption information beyond what has already been extensively covered over the past month. The market channels (Strait of Hormuz disruption, oil risk premium, safe-haven bids) were already called in prior signals and are reflected in current prices. A poll on public sentiment does not change the underlying supply or security situation.
