<div id="">
<p>CBS News surveyed its journalists and editors to understand the sentiments in foreign capitals as the <span class="link"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/iran-war-us-israel-gulf-allies-strait-of-hormuz-attacks-oil-prices-stocks/" target="_blank" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http="">conflict involving the U.S. and Israel against Iran</a></span> approaches the two-week mark, causing chaos in energy and stock markets.</p>
<p>President Trump has mentioned plans to conclude the war soon, according to his timeline. Conversely, Iran claims it is ready for a "prolonged war of attrition" aimed at destabilizing the global economy.</p>
<p>Here’s a brief overview of international perspectives on the situation.</p>
<hr/>
<h2>Russia</h2>
<p>A makeshift memorial was created outside the Iranian embassy in Moscow last week. Residents of the city brought <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9ZLPu7s0sg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">flowers, candles, and stuffed animals</a> as a show of support for the Iranian people, following reports from Iranian officials stating that over 1,000 civilians were killed in U.S.-Israeli attacks.</p>
<p>"It's heartbreaking; so many children have died—it's inhumane. How can this happen?" said Natalia, a local who placed flowers, to the state broadcaster <a target="_blank" href="https://mir24.tv/news/16662558/cvety-i-igrushki-prinesli-moskvichi-k-zdaniyu-posolstva-irana-v-rossii" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">MIR24</a>. "Such a beautiful country with amazing mosques, how can they destroy it?"</p>
<p>A significant majority of Russians are against the American-Israeli efforts against Iran, based on reports from pro-Kremlin Channel 1. President Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian over the death of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the U.S.-Israeli operation as a "premeditated and unprovoked act of aggression against a sovereign, UN-recognized nation."</p>
<p>Outside the Iranian embassy, Tatiana Pluzhnikova, a local who had lived in Iran, described the country to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVW6zGTkqpy/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">local media</a> as "extremely friendly and peace-loving." She said, "No decent person could justify such abhorrent, inhumane actions."</p>
<h2>Germany</h2>
<p>During the early stages of the conflict, German headlines reported that around <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dw.com/en/iran-war-tens-of-thousands-of-german-travelers-stranded/a-76183772" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">30,000 German citizens</a> were stranded in the United Arab Emirates and other nearby countries due to numerous flight cancellations.</p>
<p>"At around midnight, we heard sirens," tourist Richard Grüttmöller shared with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.spiegel.de/ausland/iran-krieg-deutsche-touristen-in-dubai-von-eskalation-ueberrascht-a-5a520c46-f830-4b39-9966-d02f0f76d441" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Der Spiegel</a> from his hotel balcony. "We had to reassure the kids it was just thunder."</p>
<p>Germans appear increasingly worried about the broader ramifications of the conflict, with a survey from public broadcaster ARD recently showing that more than half of participants deemed the war unjustified, and three-quarters feared it would escalate into a wider conflict.</p>
<h2>Poland</h2>
<p>Since the onset of the conflict, Poles have shown significant unease. In street interviews, one elderly woman expressed, "I'm afraid; wars are easy to ignite but challenging to extinguish."</p>
<p>"I believe this war should have been prevented," mentioned a young woman. "While I understand the intended regime change in Iran, it is affecting numerous nations — even Cyprus," she added, referring to broader European concerns about U.S. policy where one in five respondents see the United States as a <a target="_blank" href="https://yougov.com/en-gb/articles/54102-many-europeans-now-see-us-as-a-threat-to-europe" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substantial threat</a> to security.</p>
<h2>Ukraine</h2>
<p>On Ukrainian social media, an AI-generated image of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy with an ace of spades and a drone has gained significant attention recently.</p>
<p>Following a request from the U.S. Defense Department, <span class="link"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-ukraine-drone-defense-expertise-iran-war/" target="_blank" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http="">Ukraine supplied drone interceptors and pilots</a></span> to Jordan to help protect U.S. bases from Iranian drones. This assistance revisits past tensions where some Ukrainians recall Trump’s statements made during a meeting last year.</p>
<p>Despite some satisfaction in being recognized for their air defense capabilities, worries remain about diminishing supplies in the Middle East, which many hoped could eventually support Ukraine.</p>
<h2>United Kingdom</h2>
<p>The military strikes on Iran have raised significant concerns regarding the UK’s "special relationship" with the U.S.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Keir Starmer appeared to make strides in his rapport with Trump, but the UK’s refusal to permit U.S. use of its bases for offensive strikes prompted criticism from the American leader. This decision has sparked debate in the UK regarding its implications for national interests.</p>
<p>"This is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62gwkjg0k9o" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">not Churchill</a> we're dealing with," remarked Trump, deriding Starmer.</p>
<h2>Ireland</h2>
<p>In Ireland, opposition to another U.S. military intervention in the Middle East has rekindled discussions about the use of Shannon airport as a refueling base for American forces.</p>
<p>"Most in Ireland see the conflict as reckless and illegal," remarked prominent commentator Fintan O'Toole. He also noted that the public largely questions the notion of an imminent threat from Iran and criticizes rising fuel costs due to the situation.</p>
<h2>India</h2>
<p>A table draped in black cloth is set up in the Iranian Embassy in New Delhi, where attendees share their condolences.</p>
<p"Raza, a teacher, stated: "I penned my feelings; I feel deeply saddened." India has long-standing ties with Iran, and protests erupted in various regions against the U.S.-Israeli strikes, with demonstrators expressing their indignation.</p>
<h2>France</h2>
<p>President Emmanuel Macron is advocating for diplomacy to deescalate the conflict. He has engaged in discussions with both Trump and the Iranian leadership and has ordered a French naval presence in response to hostilities.</p>
<p>Polls suggest that French public sentiment is largely against foreign military interventions, and the war in Iran doesn't deviate from this trend, despite recognizing concerns about the Iranian regime.</p>
