At the start of the U.S.–Israel war, Iranian Americans were split. Now a NIAC poll found that two-thirds want to see it end.

Iranian American support for the U.S.–Israel war on Iran has plummeted, as euphoria over Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s death shifts into concern over the conflict’s growing civilian toll, according to a new poll.

Nearly two-thirds of Iranian Americans now oppose the war after opinions were near evenly divided at the start of the conflict, according to a Zogby Analytics survey.

To be fair, Zogby is not considered to be an especially reliable pollster. Still, a shift makes sense given the concerns for civilians being killed. It was recently reported that Israel was bombing residential areas of Teheran.

Guess it depends on the news source.

Or the date. I'm sure Iranians in exile were exultant upon hearing of the death of Khameini and friends. They were hoping that this would lead to an overthrow of the Iranian government. Events since have most likely discouraged this hope and instilled fear for friends and relatives still living in Iran.
