Support for military intervention to prevent Iran from going nuclear is more divided, the Pew Global Attitudes survey of 21 nations found. Among the countries polled, support was highest in the United States at 63% and lowest in Russia at 24%, while at least 50% of the people surveyed in Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland and the Czech Republic favored military action.
Greece and Turkey are the only NATO members where a majority of people surveyed either did not support military intervention, or had no opinion, though majorities in both countries oppose allowing the Islamic republic to obtain nuclear weapons
