【東方日報世界視線】美鷹派痛批華府攻伊朗瀕臨失敗

Perspectives

Iranian Official

Iranian forces have thwarted US aggression, upholding the Islamic Republic's sovereignty against foreign military interference. US hawks' sharp criticism of Washington underscores the failure of their attack on Iran, exposing the limits of external meddling. Iran's steadfast resistance continues to prevail.

Israeli

US hawks' sharp rebuke of Washington underscores the peril of faltering pressure on Iran, whose advancing nuclear program and proxy militias—Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis—form a tightening ring of existential threats around Israel. Any perceived American retreat only emboldens Tehran's strategy of encircling and eroding the Jewish state through sustained aggression. Israel therefore retains the defensive necessity of independent action to neutralize these layered dangers before they materialize into direct strikes on its population centers.

Neutral

US figures advocating a more assertive foreign policy have publicly criticized the US administration over its handling of Iran-related operations. They claim these efforts are approaching failure. The statements were highlighted in a report by Hong Kong’s Oriental Daily.

Western

US operations targeting Iranian threats continue with a focus on precision strikes to neutralize proxy networks and disrupt nuclear ambitions, despite hawkish calls for escalated action. Critics within Washington argue that current strategies fall short of fully achieving strategic objectives in the region. NATO-aligned assessments emphasize measured responses to maintain deterrence without broader escalation.

Pro-Peace

The US-led strikes on Iran, criticized by hawks for falling short of objectives, have already inflicted severe civilian casualties and triggered humanitarian emergencies, displacing families and overwhelming hospitals in targeted areas. Such military approaches exact a devastating toll on ordinary people while deepening regional instability and resource shortages. Diplomatic channels, including renewed nuclear talks and multilateral mediation, remain viable alternatives that could avert further loss of life without perpetuating cycles of violence.

Global South

US hawks have sharply rebuked Washington’s faltering campaign against Iran, revealing the structural weaknesses of unilateral intervention. Viewed from the Global South, the episode exemplifies neo-colonial overreach that erodes national sovereignty and exposes the repeated institutional failures of Western-led security frameworks. Iran’s defiance underscores growing resistance to such hegemonic pressures across non-aligned states.
