Trump Launches Airstrikes

In a dramatic escalation, the U.S. unleashed airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites after Iran's retaliation against a U.S. base. After 12 days of intense conflict and heavy casualties, a ceasefire was finally declared. Polls reveal waning support for Trump's foreign policy among Republicans, sparking worries about its repercussions on his political base.
