Iran at the heart of the American elections; Trump's war curse won't free Lebanon's al-Akhbar newspaper: A recent Associated Press poll found that about 8 in 10 registered American voters, including large majorities of Republicans and Democrats, believe reducing the cost of living should be a top priority in the next Congress, while about 7 in 10 voters said ending the war with Iran should be lawmakers' top focus. It is worth noting that both sides tried to impose their own narrative on the causes of these crises. Democrats attributed these crises to several factors related to Trump's performance, the most important of which was the war with Iran, which they described as expensive, unpopular and endless. Republicans justified these crises by referring to the tax cuts approved by the government in 2025 and the tax exemptions included in it. This happened in the midst of growing disagreements in the president's party, both among the cadres and among its popular supporters, regarding its position on the war with Iran.
