Opposition to Iran obtaining nuclear weapons is widespread around the world, including in neighboring countries Egypt, Jordan and Turkey, and support for tough economic sanctions is high, according to a poll released Friday, May 18, the Associated Press reported. The Pew Global Attitudes survey of 21 nations found that support for military intervention to prevent Iran from going nuclear is more divided, though clear majorities of Americans of all political leanings — Republicans, Democrats and independents — favor military action in Iran, as do at least 50 percent of the people surveyed in Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland and the Czech Republic. The poll comes ahead of International Atomic Energy Agency chief Yukiya Amano’s visit to Tehran over the weekend to discuss the ongoing dispute over Iran’s nuclear program.
