Today's Thursday, March 5th.

Here's what we're covering.

Less than a week into the war with Iran...

New polling shows most Americans disapprove of the attacks.

In the Senate, Republicans have blocked an effort to limit President Trump's war powers.

And the conflict is spreading beyond the Middle East.

To start, a CNN poll conducted immediately after the strikes shows about 60% of Americans oppose the military action.

The Washington Post and Reuters' Ipsos found similar results.

breaking it down by party, all three polls showed that Democrats were nearly universally opposed, while Republicans were generally supportive.

Democrats pushed for a measure that would have limited Trump's ability to continue attacking Iran without congressional authorization.

Republicans blocked it.

The House is expected to vote on a similar measure today.

It is also expected to fail.

Meanwhile, more and more countries are finding themselves entangled in the conflict.

Yesterday, an American submarine struck an Iranian Navy ship off the coast of Sri Lanka, more than 2,000 miles from Tehran.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said it was the first time the U.S.

had sunk an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War II.

And he vowed that the U.S.

and Israel would not let up in their attacks.

At the same time, NATO air defenses shot down an Iranian missile yesterday heading toward Turkish airspace.
