Full Question:

Which of the following statements regarding the U.S. military actions in Iran is closest to your views?

I fully support President Trump and the military actions in Iran to dismantle threats to our national security, and believe the U.S. should have acted years ago.
Iran is an enemy of the U.S., but it was not close to obtaining a nuclear weapon or attacking the U.S. or our allies, and any benefit from our attacks was not worth the risk.
Iran has been a threat to the U.S. and our allies, but President Trump should not have attacked Iran without a better plan in place first.
Iran is not a threat to the U.S., and President Trump had no right to start this war.
