Countries worldwide respond to US-Israel actions against Iran

Here is a rewritten version of the article in a neutral newsroom style:

The conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran has entered its 100th day, with global financial and energy markets experiencing significant disruptions. The war, which began on February 28, has expanded to include Gulf nations and Lebanon, drawing concerns from world leaders.

Iran has described the conflict as an “unprovoked act of aggression,” while Israel has continued its offensive in Lebanon, resulting in over 3,000 civilian casualties. America’s European allies have not condemned the US-Israeli attacks but have declined to intervene in the war, expressing opposition to regime change.

Gulf countries have condemned Iran’s attacks on their territories, and Russia and China have pushed back against the conflict. Countries affected by rising oil prices and market volatility have called for a diplomatic solution to the conflict, with Pakistan playing a key role in mediating talks.

A fragile ceasefire has been in place since April 8, but Israel has continued to carry out attacks on Lebanon, which Tehran has deemed a violation of the ceasefire. Diplomatic efforts to negotiate a deal between the warring parties are ongoing.

The Gulf states have been drawn into the conflict since its inception, with Iran launching missile and drone strikes against US military assets hosted in their territories. However, Gulf countries have accused Iran of targeting civilian sites, including airports and energy facilities.

Oman has expressed dismay over the war’s launch, stating that it would not serve US interests or global peace. The country was dragged into the conflict when Iran launched retaliatory attacks on US military assets and energy infrastructure across the region. Oman’s Foreign Minister, Badr Albusaidi, accused Israel of persuading the US administration to go to war with Iran.

Qatar has strongly condemned Iran for firing missiles targeting its territory, which is home to a US airbase hosting troops. Qatar has called for de-escalation and dialogue to end the war. The country’s Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, has prioritized political and diplomatic solutions in his phone call with US President Donald Trump.

The conflict continues to have significant implications for global markets and international relations.
