Despite the massive infrastructural damage and civilian evacuations, Iran has received minimal diplomatic or military support from its old allies of Islamic world or even countries like Pakistan or Turkey, who call themselves the leaders of the Islamic world. In this article we will analyse the reasons which have damaged the long-standing support for the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Readers should know that the Islamic countries around the world have although issued statements opposing the Israeli attack, the traditional allies of Iran like China, Russia, and fellow Muslim-majority countries—have maintained a striking silence on supporting Iran militarily. Reason behind Iran's dwindling support
As per experts, the reason behind the dwindling support for Iran has been its long-standing groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Houthi rebels. The allegations against Iran that it promotes global instability and terror played a key role in the loss of support it is receiving today.
While China, Turkey, Pakistan and Russia have been diplomatically supportive, they have refused to offer anything other statements. Additionally, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, and Oman have not only refused to aid Iran but have tacitly supported Israeli actions by keeping their airspace open reportedly due to the Shia-Sunni divide in the region.
Readers must note that Iran has long been accused of supporting and funding terrorist organizations, affecting global and regional security. More notably, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is considered the main center of these activities. G7 labels Iran as source of terror, backs Israel's right to defend

'Iran Can Never Have Nuclear Weapon': G7 Leaders Sign Joint Statement Amid Middle East Conflict
Last Updated: Iran Nuclear Weapons: G7 leaders opined that Iran must never obtain nuclear weapons and called for de-escalation in the Middle East, including a Gaza ceasefire. G7 Summit 2025: The G7 leaders signed a joint statement Monday night saying Iran 'can never have a nuclear weapon", as they urged a 'broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza". The G7 leaders also stressed Israel had the right to defend itself in the escalating Middle East crisis. 'We affirm that Israel has a right to defend itself," the statement read. 'We have been consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon," it added. 'We urge that the resolution of the Iranian crisis leads to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza," the statement read. On his part, US President Donald Trump said Iran 'is not winning this war, and they should talk immediately before it's too late". Trump also warned that Tehran needs to curb its nuclear programme before it's 'too late." He said Iranian leaders would 'like to talk", but they had already had 60 days to reach an agreement on their nuclear ambitions and failed to do so before the Israeli aerial assault began. 'They have to make a deal," he said. Asked what it would take for the US to get involved in the conflict militarily, Trump said Monday morning, 'I don't want to talk about that.' The G7 originated as a 1973 finance ministers' meeting to address the oil crisis and evolved into a yearly summit meant to foster personal relationships among world leaders and address global problems. It briefly expanded to the G8 with Russia as a member, only for Russia to be expelled in 2014 after annexing Crimea and taking a foothold in Ukraine that preceded its aggressive 2022 invasion of that nation.

Donald Trump proposes turning G7 into G8 or G9 with Russia, China, calls 2014 expulsion a major mistake by Obama, Trudeau
Speaking on the opening day of the G7 Summit on Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that the grouping be expanded by including Russia and China. He proposed that the Group of Seven could become the G8 or even the G9. The G7 is currently composed of democracies, and both Russia and China are authoritarian governments. Trump reiterated his opinion that removing Russia from the G8 in 2014—after it annexed Crimea—was a misstep. He stated, 'The G7 used to be the G8. Barack Obama and a person named Trudeau didn't want to have Russia in,' referring to the former U.S. president and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Trump added that Stephen Harper was actually the Canadian PM when the decision was taken. Linking Russia's conclusion to the Ukraine conflict Trump emphasized that Russia's expulsion might have contributed to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. 'I think you wouldn't have a war right now if you had Russia in, and you wouldn't have a war right now if Trump were president four years ago,' he said. He maintained that while he was not in politics when Russia was removed, he still believes 'it was a very big mistake.' He also said that excluding Vladimir Putin from such international discussions has made things more difficult. 'Putin is no longer at the table, so it makes life more complicated,' Trump commented. Suggests China's inclusion is open for discussion When asked by a reporter about the idea of adding China to the group, Trump responded that it was 'not a bad idea.' He said he wouldn't mind if China were brought in, adding that direct dialogue between global leaders at summits is essential. 'Putin speaks to me. He doesn't speak to anybody else,' Trump said, suggesting that Putin took Russia's removal as a serious personal insult. Trump made these remarks after his meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who is currently hosting the summit at Kananaskis, located in the Canadian Rockies.
