"EU member states and the UK are united in taking defensive measures if a European country is attacked, and in helping the Gulf nations with whatever they can. However, they disagree on Trump's war goals and the extent to which they should support US action against Iran. There will be no unified position on the war. On the other hand, none of the member states will enter the war directly; they will not play an active role alongside the US or Israel."
"White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt warned that US President Donald Trump expects all of our European allies to back the US and Israel's war against Iran. She said the goal was to crush the rogue Iranian regime that not only threatens America, but also threatens our European allies."
The European Union, UK, and key bloc powers have condemned Iran's regime and called for international law compliance following drone attacks on Cyprus and Gulf assets. However, European nations remain divided and ineffective in formulating a common approach to the Middle East crisis. Experts indicate European powers are pursuing defensive strategies rather than military involvement. EU member states and the UK agree on defensive measures if attacked and supporting Gulf nations, but disagree on Trump's war objectives and the extent of US military support. The United States is pressuring European allies to back military action against Iran, with the White House warning that Trump expects full European support for the war effort.
