A recent CGTN global survey reveals overwhelming international condemnation of U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities under Operation Midnight Hammer, with 91% of respondents criticizing the escalation as destabilizing to the Middle East. The poll, involving 10,472 participants across five languages, highlights growing concerns over Washington’s foreign policy approach amid heightened Israel-Iran tensions.
Military Actions Fuel Regional Crisis
Respondents sharply criticized U.S. military support for Israel and its veto of UN ceasefire resolutions, with 90% calling the strikes on Iran a violation of international law. The Guardian noted the Trump administration’s prioritization of short-term gains over regional stability, while 84% blamed Israel’s actions for worsening Middle Eastern humanitarian crises.
Global Demand for Political Solutions
85% of participants urged immediate de-escalation, emphasizing that military measures cannot resolve complex issues like the Iran nuclear dispute or Israel-Palestine conflict. “Only dialogue can prevent this Pandora’s box from destroying global stability,” one analyst remarked, reflecting the 77% who endorsed political settlements.
Major Powers Urged to Act
With 91% demanding responsible intervention from influential nations, the survey underscores a global consensus: sustainable peace requires multilateral cooperation, not unilateral strikes. As Middle East tensions threaten worldwide security, the call for restraint grows louder.
