New data from PAAIA’s 2026 National Public Opinion Survey highlights the nuanced perspectives of Iranian Americans on the Iran conflict.

Conducted March 18–23, this national survey examines views on U.S.–Israeli airstrikes and the future of governance in Iran.

58% support U.S.–Israeli airstrikes, while 40% oppose

Nearly half express concern that the current—or a more hardline—regime could remain in power

Civilian casualties and the long-term consequences of the conflict remain key concerns

At the same time, a strong majority of respondents favor a transition toward a democratic form of governance in Iran.

These findings underscore that Iranian American views are multifaceted, reflecting both support for strategic actions and caution about their broader implications.
