Iran Press/America: The Harvard CAPS/Harris poll, released to The Hill newspaper on Tuesday, found that 78 percent of voters said they believed Donald Trump’s decision to call off the strike on Iran was the right move.
The survey also found that 57 percent of respondents were against military confrontation with Iran if the US was not directly attacked by the country.
Fifty-five percent of voters said they disapproved of the way the US was handling relations with Iran.
The Harvard CAPS/Harris poll was conducted online among 2,182 registered voters between June 26 and June 29.
An opinion poll found last week that only five percent of Americans wanted the US to declare war on Iran, amid rising tensions between Tehran and Washington.
Tensions have been running high between the two countries since Washington’s decision in May last year to abandon the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and reimpose sanctions on Tehran as part of a 'maximum pressure' campaign aimed at forcing it to renegotiate a new deal that addresses its ballistic missile program and regional influence as well.
The US has also sent warships, bombers and additional troops to the region in the wake of suspicious tanker attacks in the Sea of Oman, which it has blamed on Iran without providing evidence.
Tensions between Washington and Tehran hit a new high after Iran shot down a US surveillance drone on June 20 following its violation of Iranian airspace. 101/211/205
