Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich warned that American public support for President Trump's military actions against Iran may not sustain indefinitely, particularly as economic consequences mount.

Speaking about the ongoing tensions, Gingrich stated that while Americans may initially support the president's Iran policy, "they will not back him forever." The former Georgia Republican specifically cited rising oil prices as a potential factor that could erode public support among Trump's base.

The comments come amid escalating military tensions between the United States and Iran, with reports indicating that oil tanker traffic through the strategically important Strait of Hormuz has been disrupted. The waterway serves as a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments.

According to some officials, there are concerns that any prolonged conflict could extend well into the fall months. Reports suggest that approximately 200 U.S. troops have sustained injuries during recent military operations, though these figures could not be independently verified.

The economic implications of the conflict are already becoming apparent, with oil prices experiencing notable increases. This development appears to be among the factors that Gingrich believes could influence American public opinion as the situation develops.
