Public opinion on the military action itself is also divided. The same poll found that **53% of voters oppose the strikes on Iran**, while **40% support them**.

In addition to security fears, many Americans are also worried about broader economic effects of the conflict. Around **74% of respondents expressed concern that the war could lead to rising oil and gas prices**, reflecting anxiety over potential disruptions to global energy markets. ([Yahoo][2])

Experts note that concerns about retaliation often accompany major military confrontations, especially when tensions involve countries with regional influence like Iran. While security agencies continue to monitor potential threats, the poll highlights a significant level of public unease about the possible domestic consequences of the conflict.

Overall, the findings suggest that while the military action has support in some political circles, **a large majority of Americans remain worried about the risk of blowback at home**, particularly in the form of terrorist attacks.
