Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : At the same time, the United States has confirmed it is allowing Iran to use previously frozen funds to pay Japanese and South Korean companies.
52% : U.S. officials frame this more as a favor to allied countries than to Iran.
45% : While the United States and Iranian-backed militias trade shots at each other's interests in Iraq and Syria, Iran has begun alarming new work to produce enriched uranium metal.
