One of the key questions was to check which side the world is supporting .
Most people don’t want to pick sides. But when they do, the divide is stark.
New cross-country data on the Iran vs USA–Israel conflict reveals three clear patterns:
1) Neutrality dominates globally
Across most countries, the largest share of respondents chose “Neither side.”
Mexico: 73%
Japan: 71%
Switzerland: 70%
Portugal: 68%
Germany/Spain: ~65%
Even in politically engaged societies, majorities are stepping back rather than aligning.
2) Pakistan stands out — strongly pro-Iran
79% in Pakistan support Iran
Only 15% choose neutrality
Support for USA–Israel is negligible
3) Fragmented alignment elsewhere
A few countries show more mixed positioning:
Armenia: 58% USA–Israel, 36% neutral
Georgia: 33% USA–Israel, 46% neutral
Philippines: 28% USA–Israel, but still 54% neutral
Turkey: relatively higher Iran support (36%) but still 62% neutral
Even where one side leads, neutrality remains substantial.
