BBC poll reveals overwhelming trust in Iran’s nuclear program
Tehran, Nov 18, IRNA – A BBC poll on Iran’s nuclear program revealed majority of participants trusted the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear activities.
In a motion that “This House trusts Iran not to build a nuclear bomb” during an animated discussion in the latest of Qatar’s monthly Doha Debates, two panelists and 55 percent of the audience expressed confidence in the peaceful nature of Tehran’s nuclear program.
During an animated discussion in the latest of monthly forum which was attended by four experts, BBC asked participants and audience to express their opinion on Iran’s nuclear program and its outcomes.
America’s Los Angeles Times, too, commented on the debate and its outcomes believing “the most surprising thing about the debate is the sympathy shown for Tehran.”
Los Angeles Times further said that “For years, Western diplomats and analysts have been advising their governments that Arabs view Iran's nuclear program as a greater threat to regional stability than anything else."
According to the US paper, the discussion featured two diametrically opposed representatives of Iran's programs: “Voice of the pro-America, opposition commentator Alireza Nourizadeh, arguing against trusting Iran and Tehran University professor Mohammad Marandi who articulates in flawless American English the Islamic Republic's view that its nuclear program is no cause for concern.”
"Since the Islamic Revolution, Iran has been trying to break the Western monopoly over high-tech research, development and industry," he says.
The debate took place among four panelists in presence of an audience made up of mostly Anglophone Arab and Muslim elites.
Marandi and Iran expert Mahjoob Zweiri of Jordan together with Nourizadeh, and Lebanese journalist Baria Alamuddin who is the foreign desk editor of the Saudi-funded “Al-Hayat” newspaper took part in the panel.
The thing to note about the poll was that the BBC, in an unprecedented move which raises serious doubts about its claims of impartially, embarked on distributing brocheurs among the audience.
Given the composition of the audience, the final result of the poll that trusted Iran’s nuclear program, only indicates that the huge propaganda ploy the west is waging against Iran’s nuclear program has had no remarkable effect on the public opinions of the American and European nations. /end
