A poll carried out by the German Social Research and Statistical Analysis, Forsa, indicated that 45% of those surveyed believe that the US is a more serious threat to world peace than Iran.

Of those surveyed, 28% considered Iran to be a bigger threat to world peace than the US, while 27% couldn't decide between the two.
The Forsa poll which was conducted between 17 and 29 June, questioning some 1,500 Germans, did not include "Israel" in the poll, which some analysts believe is more of a threat to world peace than most countries.

This comes in light of the US struggle to impose new pressure and sanctions on Iran over its peaceful nuclear program.
On another hand, a new poll was released on Wednesday, revealing the mounting dissatisfaction of a majority of the Arabs with the US President Barak Obama's administration policies in the Middle East.

The poll was conducted by the Arab American Institute in six Arab nations; Morocco, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The results showed that the Obama administration is not viewed as favorable as did that of George W. Bush.
The percentage of the aforementioned poll found that only 5% of Egyptians, 10% of Jordanians, and 12% in the UAE surveyed approved of the US and its president's policies in office.

In Morocco, 88% of the people surveyed expressed that Obama did not meet the expectation in his 2009 "Cairo Speech", and 77% of the Saudis said that they felt the US has betrayed them.
The biggest disappointment for the US, its president, and administration was found in Lebanon, for some 99% of the population surveyed spoke low of the Obama office, and disapproved his policies, especially those practiced in the Middle East and Lebanon.
