Poll: U.S. National Security Workers Do Not Believe The Iran Nuclear Deal Is Good For America

Defense One: Survey: 2/3 of Natsec Pros Give Iran Deal Thumbs Down

A Defense One survey finds deep skepticism among U.S. active-duty military and civilian government employees in national-security jobs.

Just 26 percent of U.S. national security workers believe that the West’s nuclear agreement with Iran is good for America, and even fewer think it will help Israel or Saudi Arabia, a new Defense One survey shows.

Asked to evaluate the statement “The Iran nuclear deal is a good deal for the United States,” some 66 percent of responders disagreed — and two-thirds of that group “strongly disagreed.”

The group’s outlook was even dimmer about the deal’s effect on U.S. allies. Most respondents said that it would have a somewhat or mostly negative impact on the security of Israel (71%), Saudi Arabia (67%), the Gulf Arab states (67%), Jordan (59%), Iraq (58%), and Europe (53%).

WNU Editor: These national security experts are clearly not positive/optimistic no the Iran nuclear deal. But as much as they may want to protest and disagree .... President Obama is not listening to them and/or is discounting their objections.
