A new survey shows that more than a third of Americans say the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding (MOU) is better for Tehran, as the Trump administration works toward negotiating a long-term peace deal to resolve conflict in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CBS News\/YouGov poll results released Sunday found that 37 percent of Americans say the MOU is better for Iran while 22 percent say it\u2019s better for the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forty-seven percent of respondents say the benefits are equal for each side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 14-point agreement initially reopened the Strait of Hormuz, initiated the removal of U.S. sanctions on Iran, released Tehran\u2019s frozen funds and ensured a ceasefire on all fronts in Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A majority of respondents, 66 percent, say the Trump administration signed the MOU in hopes of ending the conflict. Thirty-four percent of those polled said the U.S. met its goal with the war following the MOU signing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the outlined 60 days of negotiations continue, concerns about the war restarting are beginning to rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Saturday, Iran said Israeli fire on Hezbollah in Lebanon is a violation of the agreement and said it would close the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation to the attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Trump on Sunday threatened to hit Iran \u201cvery hard\u201d if they don\u2019t resolve the conflict in Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the survey, 78 percent of Americans want to end the conflict in Iran, and 22 percent want to continue fighting until Iran gives up more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, 68 percent of those surveyed said the U.S. has not successfully stopped Iran from threatening other countries while 69 percent say the U.S. has not permanently stopped Iran\u2019s nuclear program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than half of survey participants, 59 percent, say Iran will likely threaten its neighbors in the region within the coming months. Forty percent of respondents said Tehran will not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The current conflict has spurred strikes from Tehran on Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and other countries that are home to U.S. assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CBS News\/YouGov surveyed 2,519 U.S. adults from June 17-19. The margin of error for the poll results is plus or minus 2.4 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
