Sources from the publication also reported that Trump was presented with poll results showing that a majority of U.S. citizens oppose the war.
Moreover, as the WSJ points out, the president's advisors are worried that rising fuel prices caused by the conflict in the region could negatively impact his popularity.
Officials from the Trump administration assert that they are confident in American support for his actions. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt noted that "the majority of citizens support efforts to eliminate the threat posed by the Iranian regime and support actions against terrorists, which is what President Trump plans to carry out," the WSJ quotes her words.
Since the conflict began on February 28, the U.S. and Israel have been striking Iranian positions. In response, Tehran is attacking its neighboring countries, which are U.S. allies, with missiles and drones. Iran has also announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, an important route for the transit of oil and liquefied gas. As a result, military actions have led to a sharp spike in global oil prices.
