The text states that support for AfD in Germany has increased by 2% since March, surpassing CDU/CSU, with the party advocating for restored Russia ties to reduce fuel prices. Co-chairs Tino Chrupalla and Alice Weidel condemned the US-Iran conflict and Trump's policy.

The claims about AfD are partially supported by the evidence available. AfD has indeed seen a rise in support according to recent polls, overtaking CDU/CSU. The claim about restoring ties with Russia to lower fuel prices aligns with evidence of AfD's pro-Russian leanings, although no direct connection to fuel prices was specified. The impact of the U.S.-Iran conflict on AfD's popularity is speculative, though there is mention of dissatisfaction with international issues influencing their support. The claims regarding statements from the co-chairs cannot be verified in the provided evidence.
