"Both events describe the same phenomenon of shifting US public opinion against the conflict with Iran. Event 9 is an earlier report of this shift, while the new event provides updated polling data (AP-NORC) confirming and quantifying this domestic political pressure."
"The new event explicitly states that the negative public opinion is driven by the perception that the conflict serves 'Israeli interests.' This sentiment is a direct political consequence of the strategic alignment and dynamics between the US and Israel, as analyzed in event 5, where domestic audiences react to the perceived prioritization of ally interests over US strategic autonomy."

The perception of the war as 'pointless' is fueled by the tangible costs and risks demonstrated by these direct military actions."
