Often viewed as hopelessly divided, Iranian-Americans are united in wanting the US government to expend more effort promoting democracy and human rights in Iran, but do not want the US to try to overthrow Iran’s government or strike its nuclear facilities, according to a new poll.
The survey, released Thursday, April 18, was commissioned by the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian-Americans (PAAIA), a nonpartisan group that seeks to promote the “collective good” and “elevate the image of Iranian-Americans.” The poll also shows that most Iranian-Americans would support lifting sanctions if an agreement can be reached on Iran’s nuclear program.
