A new global poll is sparking serious debate over the recent U.S. air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. Dubbed Operation "Midnight Hammer," these strikes, carried out by the U.S. Air Force's B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, are seen by many as opening a dangerous "Pandora's box" in the Middle East.
The survey, conducted on CGTN's English, Spanish, French, Arabic, and Russian platforms, gathered views from over 10,000 overseas participants in just 12 hours. An impressive 91% of respondents believe these actions are fanning the flames of an already volatile conflict, while 90% say the strikes blatantly violate the UN Charter and Iran's sovereignty.
Critics highlight that the U.S. "America First" approach, which has long shown tacit support for Israel's military actions, is now coming under fire for escalating regional tensions. Nearly 90% of those surveyed condemn the recent military measures by Israel, with 84% emphasizing that its actions worsen the humanitarian crisis in the area.
Global voices are calling for immediate steps toward de-escalation. With 85% urging international actors to step in and enforce a ceasefire, and 77% stressing that only political dialogue—not military force—can forge lasting peace, the message is clear: it's time to turn from conflict to conversation. Let’s hope cooler heads prevail! ✌️
