Public Worried on Iran:
The Pew Research Center has released a fresh batch of numbers on the American public’s mood relating to Iran and its pursuit of nuclear technology. According to a recent survey, 71 percent of Americans believe Iran plans to use the technology to build weapons, however, most do not favor pursuing US air strikes against Iranian military targets. A majority (64 percent) favor letting the UN and key nations impose sanctions.
The ongoing government shutdown has not slowed progress on the Joint Advanced Tactical Missile, a congressional official said, correcting a previous statement from lawmakers about the secretive program.
