COUNCIL FOR SECURE AMERICA RELEASES NEW POLL REVEALING STRONG BIPARTISAN CONSENSUS ON STRENGTHENING U.S.-ISRAEL TIES, COUNTERING IRAN, AND ADVANCING DOMESTIC ENERGY INDEPENDENCE
WASHINGTON, June 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Council for a Secure America (CSA) today released new polling data conducted by Morning Consult showing that a clear majority of Americans believe that Iran's proxies in the Middle East such as Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas pose a threat to US national security particularly in response to Iranian aggression, place high strategic value on U.S. domestic energy production, and the importance of the U.S.-Israel alliance. The poll surveyed 2,206 American adults nationwide between June 21–23, 2025, capturing public opinion just before and immediately after President Trump's announcement of U.S. military strikes on Iranian targets. The results underscore a growing bipartisan consensus in favor of American strength, strategic partnerships, and self-reliance in energy. 'The survey confirms what many policymakers have heard from their constituents: Americans were unified in the face of escalating threats from Iran and its terror proxies,' said Jennifer Sutton, Executive Director of CSA. 'Americans want to see resolve, not retreat. The public is overwhelmingly aligned behind U.S. leadership that defends our allies, confronts our enemies, and secures our energy future.' Key Findings from the CSA Poll Include: Morning Consult conducted the online survey using a representative sample of U.S. adults, weighted for gender, age, race, education, and region. The margin of error is +/- 2.0%. The poll also included targeted surveys in nine key states: Iowa, Indiana, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming, where energy policy and national security are top-tier concerns. Importantly, a subset analysis of 1,326 respondents surveyed prior to the President's announcement and 880 afterward found no measurable change in public sentiment, underscoring the resilience of American support for the administration's posture toward Iran. 'The durability of these views, even after high-profile military action, speaks volumes,' Sutton added. 'This isn't a momentary reaction. Americans understood the stakes. They support principled leadership, reliable alliances like the one with Israel, and a national energy policy that protects our sovereignty and strength.' The survey builds on previous CSA-commissioned polls conducted by Morning Consult in March 2025 and September 2024, using the same methodology and focus areas. Over time, CSA has tracked consistent public support for American energy independence, strategic alliances, and confronting hostile regimes through strength, not appeasement.

COUNCIL FOR A SECURE AMERICA RELEASES INAUGURAL ISRAEL-IRAN WAR REPORT
CSA Launches Comprehensive Analysis One Week Into Historic Regional Conflict WASHINGTON, June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Council for a Secure America (CSA) released the inaugural edition of its Israel-Iran War Report, providing a timely and in-depth assessment of the conflict exactly one week after the outbreak of direct hostilities between Israel and the Islamic Republic of Iran. This inaugural report marks the launch of a periodically updated, independently sourced series dedicated to tracking military developments, regional destabilization, and the broader geopolitical and diplomatic events of this unprecedented escalation.

"In the wake of U.S. precision strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, and amid an intensifying campaign of ballistic missile and drone attacks by Tehran and its proxies, from Hezbollah in Lebanon to armed militias in the region, it is imperative that U.S. leaders have access to timely, fact-based intelligence. Our mission is to provide unfiltered, actionable analysis that supports strategic decision-making, strengthens alliances, and protects American interests at home and abroad." This initial report details the first seven days of the war, including key military engagements such as Iranian ballistic missile strikes, Israeli Air Force precision operations, and cross-border hostilities involving Hezbollah and other Iranian-backed militias. It also highlights diplomatic channels, the response or lack thereof by major international actors, and the growing humanitarian concerns in affected zones. "This is not simply another chapter in the Middle East conflict, this is a defining test of Western resolve in the face of authoritarian aggression," Sutton added. "Israel is under direct and sustained attack, and the ripple effects are global. CSA stands unequivocally with the people of Israel and reaffirms our commitment to ensuring that the United States remains alert, informed, and prepared to lead. In times of war, access to reliable, nonpartisan information is not a luxury it is a national imperative and a strategic necessity."
