Who is supporting Iran and is against the United States and Israel?

Several countries around the world have historically aligned with Iran on geopolitical issues, often due to shared opposition to US foreign policy, economic sanctions, or military interventions. In the context of the ongoing 2026 conflict—where the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran starting February 28—these alignments have manifested in condemnations of the US actions, diplomatic support for Iran, or neutrality that leans against escalation by the West. Based on recent reports and statements, key pro-Iranian and anti-American countries include:

- Russia: Russia has strongly condemned the US-led strikes on Iran, calling them violations of international law and an act of aggression. Moscow has long provided military and diplomatic support to Tehran, including arms sales and cooperation in Syria, while opposing US sanctions and hegemony in global affairs

- China: Beijing has criticized the Western strikes as unilateral and destabilizing, emphasizing the need for diplomacy and respect for Iran's sovereignty. China maintains deep economic ties with Iran (e.g., oil imports and infrastructure projects under the Belt and Road Initiative) and frequently opposes US interventions, viewing them as threat.

- North Korea: Pyongyang forms part of a coalition with Iran and Russia, often exchanging military technology (e.g., missiles) and sharing anti-US rhetoric. North Korea has echoed condemnations of the strikes, framing them as imperialistic, aligning with its longstanding hostility toward American policies.

- Syria: The Assad regime in Syria is a close ally of Iran, relying on Iranian military support (including from the IRGC) to maintain power amid civil war. Damascus has opposed the US strikes, viewing them as part of broader American efforts to undermine the "axis of resistance" in the region.

- Venezuela: Under its socialist government, Venezuela has anti-US sentiments rooted in opposition to sanctions and interventions. It has diplomatic and economic ties with Iran (e.g., oil cooperation) and has publicly supported Tehran's position against the strikes.

- Malaysia: Malaysia has sided with Iran in the conflict, condemning the US actions and calling for restraint from Western powers. This stance reflects broader non-aligned or pro-Islamic solidarity in some Southeast Asian contexts.

Other nations like Cuba, Nicaragua, and Belarus often echo anti-US positions and maintain friendly relations with Iran, though their direct involvement in the 2026 crisis has been limited to rhetorical support. Note that alignments can be fluid; for instance, countries like Iraq and Lebanon have significant pro-Iranian factions (e.g., Shiite militias or Hezbollah) but mixed official stances due to internal divisions and US influence. In contrast, many Middle Eastern states (e.g., Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain) have condemned Iran's retaliatory actions and aligned more closely with the US.

The Romans waged war to gather slaves and wealth.

Spain built an empire from its lust for gold and territory.

Hitler shaped a battered Germany into an economic superpower.

But war never changes.

In the 21st century, war was still waged over the resources that could be acquired. Only this time, the spoils of war were also its weapons: petroleum and uranium.

For these resources, China would invade Alaska, the US would annex Canada, and the European Commonwealth would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation-states, bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth.

In 2077, the storm of world war had come again. In two brief hours, most of the planet was reduced to cinders.

And from the ashes of nuclear devastation, a new civilization would struggle to arise.

For the ones not understanding the amount of fake ai china propaganda that´s bombarding us... how the hell can they count for "costs" of their H-20 when it hasn´t even reached operational status? They don´t, but put this fake info everywhere here.

A small example

An F-117 costs around 42-45 Million USD (in the 90s). Only 64 were built. If they built 100 or 200, the price would be significantly lower. Economies of scale anyone?

(I am not counting development costs, which were around 2.5 billion - the two Have Blue prototypes cost 37 million USD EACH) Delays, cost overruns, all play a part here.

There are other countless other examples, such as the B-2, costing $4.17 billion each. They made 21. Had they made 100 as initially intended, the price would lower. Also, operational costs were higher than anticipated

So, how the hell do these guys make those stats with classified aircraft that haven´t even begun production, but that are still in prototype stage?

Simple: they´re lying.

PS - Just realized the PAK FA shown here hasn´t even flown still a blueprint.

"So, in this #newcoldwar, how does the US re-deploy the lessons of the old one, and adapt to changing conditions in a way that deters rivals without inflaming tensions?

Here are a handful of suggestions to start with…"
