“Iran is also trying to develop nuclear weapons.” This view is held by a majority in 19 of the countries and is especially widespread among Americans (83%)

What convincing evidence do these people see I don't see? The IAEA keeps saying they haven't found any evidence of a nuclear weapons program. Obviously the drum beat of the mantra, "Iran is building nuclear weapons," is enough. No need to provide facts or evidence, who needs them anyway. But wait there's more ...

A majority of likely voters – 52% – would support a U.S. military strike to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon


So 62% of those who believe Iran is building NW are ready to attack Iran. These numbers are simply a portend of the future.

I don't know where Gen Dempsey stands on the issues but in an O'Really? (yes really) segment he apparently understands there are military men who believe (yes he said believe, not know) Iran is supporting the insurgency. This suggests to me he has seen the evidence and it is not compelling.

With control of the bully pulpit, it would take a saturation campaign of all media to critically inspect all the evidence, in rebuttal to the administration's ( Israel's agenda) position. Sorry but I don't believe it will happen.
