A majority of Americans oppose the U.S. military intervening in armed conflict between Israel and Iran, a poll conducted by The Chicago Council on Global Affairs found [.pdf].

Presented with the scenario of an Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, 56% of those polled said “the United States should not bring its military forces into such a conflict, with 38% saying it should”, the study found as “most striking”. Only 50% said they would oppose U.S. defense of Israel against an attack by a neighboring state military, with 47% support such foreign intervention.
