Poll Shows Little Support for Strike on Nuclear Program
By Haaretz
Despite labeling Iran’s nuclear program as a “critical threat” to
U.S. interests, a clear majority of Americans oppose a military strike
against Tehran and support a policy of UN sanctions and diplomatic
dialogue.
The new annual poll published this week by the Chicago Council for Global Affairs on American attitudes towards foreign affairs – dubbed “Foreign Policy in the New Millennium” - found that 70% of Americans oppose a strike on Iran that is not authorized by the UN Security Council, and 51% are opposed even if the UN body does sanction the attack. In addition, 59% of Americans are opposed to US intervention on behalf of Israel in case of Iranian retaliation for a preemptive Israeli attack.
On the other hand, 79% of Americans believe that further sanctions should be applied on Tehran through the UN Security Council, and 67% believe that the U.S. government should engage in direct diplomacy with the regime in Tehran.
