Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : AS WINDOW CLOSES ON REVIVING IRAN DEAL, DOOR OPENS ON MILITARY OPTIONS"As a matter of principle, public opinion in Iran cannot accept as a guarantee the words of a head of state, let alone the United States, due to the withdrawal of Americans from the JCPOA," Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told the Financial Times in an interview published Wednesday, adding that Congress should "declare in the form of a political statement their commitment to the agreement."
45% : "If we want Iran to respect its nonproliferation commitments and in exchange for the United States to lift sanctions, there has to be something left to do it."
34% : Iran could "unleash a serious crisis" in the near future if a last-ditch effort to salvage the 2015 nuclear deal fails, according to a senior French official.
32% :Nephew declined to elaborate on the cause of his departure, but Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, warned U.S. officials not to "allow Iran to threaten us into a bad deal or an interim agreement that allows it to continue to build its nuclear capacity" in a floor speech that saw him call for an intensification of international sanctions on the regime.
15% :"That Trump unilaterally and unjustly imposed sanctions on real and legal entities in Iran under some allegations as Iran's missile program, regional issues or human rights is not acceptable," the Iranian official told FT.
11% : Amir-Abdollahian, for his part, complained that the U.S. "lacks a serious initiative" for a return to compliance with the deal, adding that Iran wants Biden to lift all the sanctions that Trump imposed -- even those unrelated to the 2015 nuclear deal.
