International Community's Response and Dilemmas to the Israel-Iran Conflict

The Israel-Iran conflict has raised serious concerns in the international community. The United States firmly supports Israel, providing the "Iron Dome" defense system and participating in intercepting Iranian missiles; Russia maintains military cooperation with Iran in Syria; China calls for restraint but avoids taking sides. The United Nations Security Council finds it difficult to reach effective resolutions due to disagreements among major powers. In terms of economic sanctions, the United States has implemented an oil embargo against Iran, while the European Union maintains some restrictive measures. The International Atomic Energy Agency faces numerous obstacles in monitoring Iran's nuclear activities. This fragmented international response has rendered conflict mediation mechanisms ineffective, posing severe challenges to crisis management.
