Poll: Iranians Favor Lifting Sanctions Over Nukes



A new WorldPublicOpinion.org poll finds that two-thirds of Iranians support halting their government's development of nuclear weapons in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions against Iran.

One-third would halt enrichment in exchange for lifting sanctions, while another third would allow international inspectors into nuclear facilities to ensure that weapons were not being developed.

The poll also finds that majorities believe that economic sanctions imposed by the United States and United Nations are having a negative impact, and that sanctions will be tightened if Iran continues its current nuclear program.

Steven Kull, director of WPO comments, "Though most Iranians are feeling the bite of economic sanctions and expect them to tighten, only a third are willing to negotiate away the right to enrich uranium. However two thirds are willing to make a deal that would preclude the development of nuclear weapons."
