More than a Third of Americans Say MOU Better for Iran
Most respondents say the agreement favors Tehran, and two-thirds say the administration sought an end to the conflict rather than a full policy victory.
A CBS News/YouGov poll released Sunday shows 78% of Americans say the U.S. should end the war in Iran "now," while 79% believe the peace agreement will not bring pro-Western leadership to Tehran.
Two-Thirds of Americans believe President Donald Trump negotiated the deal because he wanted "the conflict to be over" rather than because the United States met its war objectives, a view shared by 53% of Republicans.
What's more, 57% of Americans think the war caused more problems than it solved, with only 21% seeing a positive outcome, while 42% of respondents expect gas prices to decline as oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz stabilize.
On Sunday, Trump threatened to launch strikes against Iran if Hezbollah continues attacks on Israel, and he warned he would impose tolls on ships transiting the Strait if talks in Switzerland fail.
As 60 days of negotiations continue, 69% of those surveyed say the United States has not permanently stopped Iran's nuclear program, while 59% believe Iran will likely threaten its neighbors in the coming months.
