"I think most Iranians want this war to end as soon as possible, and at the same time, they fear nothing more than the day after the war, if this regime remains intact. This reflects the complex position many Iranians hold regarding the conflict and its potential aftermath."
"Pro-war voices are definitely in the diaspora and very strong, but they also exist inside Iran. This indicates that support for military action spans both Iranian communities abroad and within the country itself, complicating narratives about unified opposition to the conflict."
A three-week military conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran has disrupted global shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and driven oil prices upward. President Trump is pressuring other nations to deploy warships to reopen the strait. The conflict involves continuous major strikes by the U.S. and Israel on Iran, followed by Iranian retaliation against Israel and Gulf allies including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Despite widespread violence, perspectives on the war vary significantly. Pro-war sentiment exists both within Iranian diaspora communities and inside Iran itself, though many Iranians reportedly desire an immediate end to hostilities while fearing the post-war consequences if the current regime survives.
