Explore the growing rift between the U.S. and European allies over Iran strategy. Get the latest news on Iran, U.S., and Israel conflict, and how it impacts global security.

In recent months, the transatlantic alliance has hit a rough patch. U.S. President Donald Trump has been turning up the pressure on European allies, asking for more much more in the face of rising tensions with Iran.

The nation more often associated in Western media with regional instability or counterterrorism struggles played a pivotal, under-the-radar role in helping the Trump administration navigate one of its most volatile foreign policy crises—the brink of war with Iran.
