Almost a month after the escalation of the conflict between the United States and Israel on one side and Iran on the other, amidst ongoing military actions in the Middle East, we have asked Poles whether they believed the United States and Israel were justified in attacking Iran. Over three-quarters (77%) considered the decision to attack unjustified, with the majority (51%) expressing their opinion strongly. On the other hand, 8% of respondents agreed, and 15% refrained from answering.
Do you agree that the decision of the United States and Israel to attack Iran was justified?

Opinions were somewhat divided regarding whether the conflict between the United States / Israel and Iran threatens Poland's security: a plurality of respondents believe that such a threat exists (49%), compared to 42% of those who do not think so.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed the expectation of help from US allies in the current US actions against Iran. The Polish government announced that it would not send troops to Iran. An overwhelming majority (89%) of respondents view this decision positively, with as many as 60% strongly approving. Negative evaluations accounted for 6%, and the same percentage refrained from assessing this decision (6%).
