Given no one is conducting a poll in Iran anytime soon it is impossible to say. But essentially what you are saying is not that you trust him more but the Iranian people more. I might agree if I knew more.

The assumption that Iran is 5 years away is political nonsense. No one knows for sure. Not even the Iranians themselves. One shipment from North Korea and the Russian mob and they might be building one next week.
