A single survey often reports all adults and registered voters separately, so the same pollster and dates can appear twice; where approve and disapprove add up to less than 100%, the rest were unsure or did not answer.

What this person said on the record, as reported, newest first.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US economic campaign against Iran was effective enough to make large-scale military operations unnecessary, and urged G7 allies to help protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said further strikes were unlikely, while Vice President JD Vance favours a deal. US-Iran negotiations have largely stalled for months as Washington maintains sanctions and a blockade of Iranian ports.

US Vice President J.D. Vance said the conflict with Iran would enter a completely different phase within two months.

Vance sent Iranian official Mohsen Rezaei a letter in October proposing a meeting. No meeting has been agreed, though discussions continue through intermediaries. Iran’s foreign minister previously said no meeting was planned and reports of one were baseless.
