Iran International poll finds 68% say US pressure harms ordinary Iranians more than authorities
Summary
In a recent Instagram poll conducted by Iran International, more than two-thirds of the 56,000 respondents indicated that they believe the pressure from the Trump administration on Iran is inflicting greater harm on ordinary Iranians than on the ruling authorities. Specifically, 68% of participants expressed that the public bears the brunt of this pressure. The poll reflects ongoing discussions about how international policies impact the economic burdens faced by citizens compared to their government, a topic that is increasingly relevant amid rising prices and deteriorating living conditions reported by participants. While many respondents recognized the hardships caused by U.S. measures, opinions were divided on whether such suffering could justify potential political change in the long run.
