Americans would back Iran war: poll

A new opinion poll in the United States has found most Americans would back military action against Iran to stop it from acquiring nuclear weapons.

The Washington Post/ABC poll found 56 per cent of respondents endorsed the use of the US military to block Iran from developing nuclear weapons, while 38 per cent opposed it.

The United States has accused Iran of seeking nuclear weapons, supporting terrorist organisations, and of meddling in the affairs of neighbouring Iraq where US troops toppled the government of Saddam Hussein.

Meanwhile, more than six-in-10 people have said the decision to go to war in Iraq was justified, even if the US did not find weapons of mass destruction, the key reason cited by the Bush administration.
