You spent the past year belittling the USA’s traditional allies, threatened to invade them or annex part of their rightful territory.
You never consulted the other signatories of JCPOA before withdrawing and never asked for input of any foreign leader other than NEtanyahu before Epic Fury. Why should other countries spend blood and treasure to fix what you broke?
No country is dumb enough to volunteer, and in some cases, they don’t use “might” but flat-ou “no” because their populations are utterly opposed.
The only reason why I don’t want this to last until the end of the month is that I just don’t want a global recession and even famines due to fertilizer production issues.

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised to see people supporting Iran because they want Trump to be taught a lesson. Myself I have to remember sometimes that it’s the IRGC.
And speaking of trust, it is difficult to disagree with the surviving members of the Iranian leadership, as oppressive and brutal as they’re, that the USA isn’t a reliable partner and that only extreme measures are needed to ensure that there’s no a third attack. Why sould they trust the USA when even old allies are now rethinking their allegiances?
On a forum, there were people commenting about how Ali Khamenei enforced moderation and limitation (for exemple, if a missile was to be shot at an US military then the US would be warned beforehand in a kabuki game) and the new leaders are more “brutal”, thereby ensuring that future reprisals would involve the loss of human lives.
