Iranian diaspora supporters of the war
The Iranian diaspora opponents of the war and the Iranian diaspora supporters of the war are two groups within the global Iranian community, which includes Iranian Americans and other Iranians living abroad.
Opponents of the war have protested against military intervention and the Tehran government, while supporters have called for regime change and aligned themselves with the U.S. and Israel.
The diaspora is politically diverse, with many members maintaining strong ties to their homeland and families in Iran.
The two sides have conflicting interests over the war between Iran and Iraq, with some diaspora members supporting the conflict as a means to achieve regime change, while others oppose it due to concerns about the consequences for their families and friends in Iran.
This division has led to ruptured friendships and bitter splits within families, reflecting broader political and ideological differences within the community.
A survey found that 49% of Iranian Americans supported the war while 49% opposed it, highlighting the near-even split.
