If it's not "allowed to fly", the Iranians will go ahead and develop weapons grade fast-breeder nuclear installations beyond our control anyway, which will almost certainly spark a nuclear arms race in the highly unstable Middle East.

By allowing it to happen, and imposing strict conditions before it starts, we do at least have a measure of control, thus making it a manageable proposition whilst re-integrating Iran with the rest of the wider World, which may be very important for dealing with scumbags like I.S., who in my opinion are as bad as Hitler's SS murderers.

I do understand the unease, though. It needs handling correctly and carefully, with no softening of the strict conditions of development, and transparency to the nuclear inspectors assigned to monitor this programme.

On balance, I'm in favour of the deal.

Well, to clarify,

The CNN/ORC International Poll was conducted by telephone July 22-25 among a random national sample of 1,017 adults, including 898 registered voters. Results for all adults have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.


To translate that to "majority of Americans..." is a bit of a reach, I think.

What does Iran want with Nuclear Weapons anyway, when it gets ISIS to do its dirty work of taking over the Middle East, and then the rest of the world for them?

You know, ISIS is an extreme Sunni Muslim organization funded by the God-forsaken Saudis and their other Sunni Arab associates. Iran is the chief bulwark of Shia Muslims and is absolutely, utterly opposed to everything ISIS stands for. The two have nothing whatever in common, Iraq sends military commanders into Shia areas of Iraq for the sole purpose of holding back ISIS and protecting the civil population.

To answer the OP, "What's The Majority Opinion by UK Folks on the Iran Deal", they'll parrot whatever the egg-stained tabloid on their breakfast table tells them to say.

Were my opinion sought, I'd say that all non-weapons trade sanctions should be classified as an illegal weapon of mass destruction and banned by the United Nations. All weapons sanctions should be obligatory, no international weapons sales should be allowed at all. Just calling it "Sanctions" is too vague. If anyone wants to express abhorrence they can use Sport and Culture sanctions, which very effectively brought down Apartheid South Africa.

My Poll response - I'm entirely "For" the Iran deal.

If there were ever a case of "the lesser of two evils", this is it.
