The attacks have sharply divided world leaders. Some Western allies expressed cautious support for the operation, arguing that Iran’s nuclear ambitions had become increasingly dangerous. Others criticized Washington for acting unilaterally and risking a broader Middle East war that could destabilize global energy supplies and international diplomacy.
Russia and China strongly condemned the strikes, accusing the United States of violating international law and undermining diplomatic efforts. Meanwhile, several European leaders urged immediate de-escalation and emergency negotiations to prevent further military confrontation.
