Iran-US Israel War: The attacks by America and Israel on Iran on Saturday created serious tension in the region. The news of the killing of many senior officials including the Supreme Leader of Iran in these attacks has given a deep shock to the country. Analysts believe that this is not just a military attack, but a direct attack on Iran’s political and strategic structure. The death of the Supreme Leader is being described as a loss which will not be easy to compensate.

Who stands with Iran?

According to reports, the US engaged Iran diplomatically during the negotiation process and suddenly attacked along with Israel. This strengthened the impression that Iran was strategically surprised. Now the question is arising whether Iran’s traditional allies stand firmly with it in this hour of crisis or not. Iran has been isolated internationally due to US sanctions for a long time. Russia and China are considered its main allies, but neither country took direct military intervention at the time of the attack. He condemned the attacks while offering only diplomatic support, demanded an immediate ceasefire and initiated discussions in the UN Security Council.

Iran-backed proxy groups counterattack

Iran-backed proxy groups warned of action against Israel and US interests. Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed attacks in the Red Sea region, while Iran-backed militias in Iraq launched drone attacks on US targets. However, after recent losses, the unity and effectiveness of these networks has been questioned.

What is the stance of Islamic countries?

The stance of Islamic countries also remains a topic of discussion. Some member countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) had earlier said that they would not allow their airspace to be used to attack Iran. Despite this, there were reports of the use of Jordanian, Iraqi and Syrian airspace along the Arabian Sea during the attacks. The activities of US military bases located in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar were also monitored. Oman tried a diplomatic solution, but it could not succeed.

Which countries are against Iran?

Iran’s main opponents include America and Israel, while many European countries also do not support it openly. Its ideological and political differences with Saudi Arabia and UAE in the Middle East have been going on for a long time. On the other hand, Israel received clear support from America, while debate continues on the stance of regional countries. This development is being considered a sign of a major change in the balance-of-power politics of the Middle East.
