US media: Despite Iran's long-term diplomatic, trade, and military relations with multiple countries—Turkey and India have trade relations with it, China relies on its cheap oil, Russia, North Korea, and Venezuela regard it as an ally against the West—these allies have only made verbal statements in the face of the US-Israel joint attack on Iran, without any substantial actions.
Instead, Turkey said that NATO intercepted a ballistic missile flying from Iran, and Iran later denied having targeted Turkey. Azerbaijan claimed to have been attacked by two drones from Iranian territory, causing casualties and airport damage; pro-American Iranian Kurdish forces stationed in Iraq are forming armed forces, preparing to enter Iran and open a new front.
In the United States, Republican senators rejected a bill to limit Trump's power to go to war against Iran without congressional authorization; a CNN poll showed that about 60% of Americans oppose a military strike against Iran.
Additionally, an American submarine sank an Iranian frigate near the waters of Sri Lanka, and Iran's foreign minister condemned the act as "a maritime atrocity".
