Americans See A Nuclear Iran As A Threat

According to a YNet poll, the threat of Iran going nuclear should not be taken lightly

• 87% of those polled said a nuclear Iran will pose a threat to the US
• 96% believe it would be of imminent threat to Israel.
• 90% said that should Iran possess nuclear weapons it may sell them, or their technology to terror organizations.
• 80% said they did not believe Iran was pursuing nuclear technology for sheer ability and that Tehran is likely to make use of it.

Regarding what should be done:

• 81% said they believed the international community must find a way to stop Iran's pursuit after nuclear technology
• 62% said they believed the world can still find a diplomatic solution which would make Iran halt its nuclear endeavors.

If a military strike is necessary, who should do it?

• 55% of those polled said they would support a surgical strike by the US and its allies on Iran's nuclear facilities.
• 63% of Americans supports a preemptive Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, should the international community's diplomatic efforts to curb its nuclear development fail.

Regardless of what Americans think of what kind of threat Iraq posed under Hussein or whether they think the US should have gone in--a majority of Americans see Iran as a threat and what something done about it--even if they do prefer leaving it to Israel.
