Openness on Israeli Issues Seen in Survey of Iranians
(New York Times) Isabel Kershner - According to a survey conducted by the Institute for Policy and Strategy at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, Israel, 40% of Iranians would be willing to give up any ability to produce nuclear weapons in the future in return for the full removal of sanctions. Nearly 40% agreed that Iran should recognize Israel if Israel reached a peace accord with the Palestinians. More than 74% agreed that Iran should establish full trade and diplomatic relations with the U.S. About a half-dozen Israelis of Iranian origin, who speak Farsi as a mother tongue, telephoned the 530 respondents in May and early June without revealing that they were Israelis in a random phone survey conducted across Iran.
