‘You Make Us Proud’: Western Social Media Flooded with Messages Praising Iran’s Retaliation Against Israel

According to Saed News, a wave of congratulatory messages has swept across Western social media platforms in the wake of Iran’s retaliatory strikes against Israeli military actions. Numerous users have posted videos and comments lauding the Iranian response, calling the nation and its people symbols of dignity, resistance, and national pride.

Many of these users asserted that the Israeli government failed in its objectives during the recent escalation and that its military campaign was effectively “humiliated” by Iran’s precision counterstrikes. Videos circulating online include personal testimonies from Western citizens who, while unaffiliated with Iranian institutions, voiced open admiration for what they described as Tehran’s “measured but powerful” handling of the confrontation.

The volume and tone of these online reactions mark a striking departure from the usual narratives that dominate Western discourse on Middle Eastern geopolitics. While official Western governments have remained largely critical or cautious in their statements, this bottom-up display of digital solidarity suggests a more nuanced and divided public opinion.

Analysts note that such sentiments reflect a growing skepticism in Western populations regarding Israel’s military policies, especially when viewed in light of rising civilian casualties and long-standing regional instability. Whether this online momentum will translate into broader shifts in public policy or media framing remains to be seen.
