Iranians Want Capacity to Enrich Uranium But Accept NPT Rules Against Developing Nuclear Weapons: Americans Would Allow Limited Enrichment, Provided UN Is Given Full Access

Abstract

Most Iranians want their country to have the capacity to enrich uranium for nuclear energy, but a majority also agrees that Iran should comply with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which forbids signatories from developing nuclear weapons. A majority of Americans are ready to accept a deal allowing Iran to engage in limited enrichment if it also agrees to give UN inspectors full access to make sure that Iran is not developing nuclear weapons.
