WASHINGTON - Seventy-nine percent of Americans think the US must work hard to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, a poll published on Thursday said. However, many Israelis will be disappointed to learn that most Americans are not interested in a military operation on Persian soil. According to a poll commissioned by the Israel Project and conducted by Quinlan Rosner Research, 47% of Americans would prefer increased diplomatic pressure on Iran, while 39% support harsher economic sanctions.
