Washington (CNN) – Seven in 10 Americans believe that Iran currently has nuclear weapons, according to a new national poll.

Friday's release of the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey comes just hours after Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said the Islamic republic isn't seeking and doesn't believe in pursuing nuclear weapons. Khamenei was responding to a draft United Nations report that said that Iran may be working to develop a nuclear weapon.

The poll indicates that 71 percent of the public says Iran has nuclear weapons, with just over one in four disagreeing. More than six in ten think the U.S. should take economic and diplomatic efforts to get Iran to shut down their nuclear program, with only a quarter calling for immediate military action.

---- Ok, but they don't have Nuclear Weapons. How can people be so unaware, and this is after Iraq, that a middle eastern country does not actually pose an immediate threat?

I just find it funny that you can be so absolutely positive there were no WMD's in Iraq. We gave them two weeks of notice, and we have photos of numerous large trucks moving in the direction of Syria during said two weeks. Iran is obviously develpoing nuclear materials, and has said that Israel should be wiped off the face of the Earth. The dictatorship just stole another election where the opposition lost his own town. Seems like a perfectly stable country to have nuclear weapons. How long can you stick your head in the sand while maniacle dictator stomp on their people? I bet you would have just gone along with the flow when Hitler stormed Poland too, huh?
