A recent survey conducted by Ipsos reveals that only 23% of Americans believe the United States is in a stronger position regarding Iran following the recent conflict. This sentiment is reflected in President Donald Trump’s approval rating, which has dropped to 34%.
The survey indicates that among Republican supporters, just half feel that the U.S. has emerged stronger after the war with Iran. Conversely, 35% of respondents believe the U.S. is in a weaker position now compared to before the conflict.
Furthermore, 64% of participants disapprove of President Trump’s policies, a figure that has remained consistent since April 2026. Only 24% of Americans think that the war against Iran was worth the costs incurred, while 63% doubt that the agreement signed by Trump will lead to lasting peace between the two nations. This skepticism is particularly pronounced among Democratic supporters, with 80% believing that a ceasefire will not be sustainable.
On June 18, the U.S. and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at concluding the conflict in the Middle East. The agreement, finalized remotely, commits both nations to immediately cease all military operations, including actions in Lebanon, and to refrain from future threats or use of force against each other. A final agreement is expected to be established within 60 days.
On June 22, Iran and the U.S. agreed on a roadmap to achieve this final agreement within the stipulated timeframe, as confirmed by mediators from Qatar and Pakistan following the first round of talks held in Switzerland.
Additionally, on the same day, the U.S. Treasury issued a temporary general license permitting the production, supply, and sale of Iranian oil, valid until the end of August 2026.
A survey reveals that a majority of Americans are skeptical about the U.S.-Iran relationship post-conflict, with declining approval ratings for President Trump. The recent agreement aims to halt military operations and establish a roadmap for lasting peace.
