Have I missed it?

Seems that foreign leaders have said little to nothing about US aggression against Iran. Is our media blocking them, or have they just chosen to stay silent so far?

1. NPR summary

https://www.npr.org/2026/02/28/nx-s1-5730352/world-leaders-reaction-operation-epic-fury

Spain, Russia, China, and Oman directly spoke against the US attack.

Seems like other countries are 'concerned' but did not speak directly against Trump.

Other countries spoke during the UN meeting but I don't see them covered in the NPR piece and I can't remember which ones spoke strongly against it.

4. I think any nation with assets or bases in the area are tip-toeing around because they could get pulled in.

e.g., the UK reaction to missiles fired toward UK military bases in Cyprus

"We had two missiles fired in the direction of Cyprus. We don't believe they were targeted at Cyprus, but nevertheless, it's an example of how there is a very real and rising threat from a regime that is lashing out widely across the region, and that requires us to act." (link)

Perhaps they fear clear condemnation as a violation of international law could put them in a bad position when they feel compelled to initiate strikes of their own in response to the blowback.

2. Ahhh... here's something.

Foreign leaders not informed in advance, “caught off guard”. And not saying much.
