Trump Approval Stays at 33% Amid Iran War Support Decline

TL;DR

US President Donald Trump halted a planned military strike against Iran at the direct request of Gulf states and due to the start of serious negotiations.
This de-escalation signals a potential diplomatic opening in the Persian Gulf region and a critical shift in the US-Iran standoff, possibly averting a major conflict.
Gulf states, especially the UAE and Saudi Arabia, benefit from de-escalation as it reduces the immediate threat of military conflict on their borders.
Global oil prices and bond yields surged after Trump warned Iran about stalled peace negotiations, which effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical maritime chokepoint for approximately 20% of the world's total petroleum liquids consumption, and its disruption can cause a global energy supply crisis and surging oil prices.
