UTICA, N.Y., Feb. 24 (UPI) -- Most U.S. voters said they thought Iran is producing nuclear weapons and the United States would join an Israeli attack on the country in response, a poll says.
The International IBOPE Zogby interactive survey indicated 78 percent of participants said they thought Iran is actively producing nuclear weapons and 89 percent said they believed it is likely Israel will attack Iran for the creation of such weapons. Seventy-two percent of participants said they think the United States would join Israel in military action if Israel attacks Iran.
If Iran produces nuclear weapons, 68 percent of respondents said they think it is likely Iran would attack another nation.
When asked what type of military intervention the United States should undertake if it believes Iran has nuclear weapons, 37 percent support aerial attacks, 33 percent support increased economic and political sanctions, 10 percent said there should be no changes in policy against Iran and 7 percent support both invasion and aerial attacks of the country, the poll said.
Seventy-nine percent said they would be concerned about oil prices if the United States attacks Iran.
Results are based on an online survey of 2,077 likely voters conducted Feb. 17 through Tuesday. The margin of error is 2.2 percentage points.
