Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Last week, Iran said it tested the Ghaem 100, its first three-stage space launch vehicle, which would be able to place 180-pound satellites in an orbit 300 miles above Earth, Reuters reported, citing state media.
54% : Iran has developed a hypersonic ballistic missile with the speed and maneuverability to allow it to penetrate any defense system, a top Revolutionary Guard aerospace commander claimed Thursday.
44% : "This means the Islamic Republic of Iran's new missile can pass through both terrestrial air defense systems and the super-expensive extraterrestrial systems that could target missiles beyond the Earth atmosphere," Hajizadeh added.
43% : Tehran has always denied wanting a nuclear arsenal.
42% : Despite the bluster, there have been no reports of such a missile being tested by Iran, which has developed a large domestic arms industry in the face of international sanctions and embargoes.
38% : The deal reached with six major powers -- the US, Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia -- gave Iran relief from sanctions in return for guarantees it would not develop an atomic weapon.
28% : But in 2018, concerns about Iran's ballistic missiles did contribute to a US decision under then-President Donald Trump to pull out of the nuclear pact that Tehran signed with world powers three years earlier.
