51% of likely US voters say their country should help Israel if it attacks Iran, according to a poll conducted by Rasmussen.

The poll also reveals that 61 percent of the respondents "think it is at least somewhat likely that Israel will attack Iran in the next year while just 23% see such an attack as unlikely, Arutz Sheva informs.

Of those who think an attack is likely, 22% said it is "very likely."

Rasmussen reminds that tensions between Israel and Iran are rising again following a terrorist attack against Israeli civilians in Bulgaria.

The July 18 terrorist attack in Bulgaria's Burgas, also known as the Burgas Bus Bombing, killed 5 Israeli tourists and a Bulgarian bus driver at the city's airport.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Shimon Peres, Defense Minister Ehud Barak, and Foreign Affairs Minister Avigdor Lieberman have all attributed last Wednesday's attack in Burgas to Hezbollah or a similar organization, stressing that Iran is at the root.
