A new poll has found that a large majority of people in the United States believe that the decision to take military action against Iran was a mistake, as the war roils the global economy and fuels cost-of-living concerns in the US, Al Jazeera reports.

A Washington Post-ABC-Ipsos poll released on Friday shows that 61 per cent of respondents believe the use of military force against Iran was a mistake, with just 36pc saying it was the right decision.
