Hollywood Celebrities React to U.S. Strike on Iran: A Divide Among Stars
The recent U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities has sparked a wave of reactions across politics, media, and the arts. While many prominent Israeli figures welcomed the military operation, Hollywood responded with a range of opinions some supportive, others strongly critical.
Support from Israeli Celebrities
In Israel, numerous cultural and artistic figures quickly expressed support for the U.S. action on social media, calling it an important step toward “regional security.” This widespread backing reflected the political mood in Tel Aviv.
Strong Reactions from Hollywood
On the other hand, the initial silence from some Hollywood celebrities especially those previously critical of Israel’s actions in Gaza was notable. However, that silence did not last long.
Amy Lou Wood, a British actress known for the series White Lotus, took to Instagram to strongly criticize Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for praising Donald Trump after the strike. She wrote, “I feel sick,” and shared a post saying, “Bombing for peace is like f***ing for virginity.”
Interestingly, one of the posts she shared came from a parody account impersonating Quentin Tarantino something she likely didn’t realize.
Conservative Figures Offer Full Support
Caitlyn Jenner, the well-known American personality who recently visited Israel, expressed full support for the strike, writing, “Peace through strength,” and added, “God bless America and our dear ally Israel.” She posted an image of both nations’ flags.
Roseanne Barr, a well-known comedian and Trump supporter, wrote: “This is exactly what I voted for!”
Billy Baldwin, an American actor, shared a sarcastic yet critical view: “The people of Iran, Israel, and America are beautiful. The leaders of all three are insane.”
Dean Cain, star of the Lois & Clark TV series, also supported the U.S. strike, calling it a defense of global peace.
A Deep Cultural Divide Reflecting Global Politics
This event once again highlighted how U.S. foreign policy has become a polarizing topic among artists and cultural figures. While some see it as a security necessity, others consider it a source of escalating humanitarian crises.
