Majority of Iranians support holding discussions with the USA, despite the fact that they consider the United States as an enemy of Iran, Iran News reported on Monday.
According to two polls carried out by the ministries of culture and information, 71-78 percent of those surveyed favored holding talks with Washington, while 65-70 percent did not consider holding such talks to be humiliating.
However, the two polls, which were requested by the parliament's National Security Commission, indicated that only 26 percent of the participants viewed the United States as a likable country. In addition, according to the Iranian newspaper, the polls indicated that nearly 80 percent of the respondents considered the United States to be "insincere." (Albawaba.com)
