Here's How Americans Are Feeling About the Iran MOU

Key Points:

• A CBS News/YouGov poll shows Americans are divided on the US-Iran memorandum of understanding (MOU), with 37% saying it benefits Iran more, 22% favoring the US, and 47% viewing it as balanced.
• The 14-point pact reopened the Strait of Hormuz, lifted some US sanctions, freed frozen Iranian assets, and secured a ceasefire in Lebanon, though Iran claims to have reclosed the strait amid ongoing conflict, a claim the US disputes.
• Two-thirds believe the Trump administration signed the deal to end conflict, but only about one-third think it has succeeded; majorities say it has not stopped Iran's regional threats or nuclear ambitions.
• Despite concerns, 78% of respondents prefer ending the fighting over seeking further concessions from Iran.
• The poll was released as high-level talks in Switzerland concluded early, with technical negotiations continuing; former Vice President Mike Pence criticized the MOU as insufficient, calling it "a plan to make a plan" rather than a real agreement.
