WANA (Oct 14) – A recent poll conducted by the Iranian polling centre reveals that over 60% of the Iranian population believes there is no significant difference in national interests between a potential presidency of Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.

 

As the U.S. presidential election approaches, various analyses are emerging regarding its potential impact on Iran’s economy, with differing views from both foreign and domestic media.

 

While most Iranian media outlets assert that the election of either Trump or Harris will not alter the current sanctions regime or the resulting economic climate, some foreign media suggest that a Trump victory could lead to increased sanctions and further economic challenges for Iran.

 

According to the latest survey by Mellat Iranian polling centre, conducted in September 2024, a significant majority of respondents feel that the identity of the next U.S. president will not affect Iran’s national interests.

 

When asked, “With the U.S. presidential election coming up in a few months, which candidate do you believe would be better for our country’s interests?” the results showed that 60.8% of people indicated it makes no difference which candidate becomes president. Meanwhile, 22.5% stated that a Harris presidency would benefit Iran, while only 9.2% favoured Trump.
