Europe says no to Trump’s Iran demands: ‘not our war’
AI Summary
European leaders have declined President Trump's request to join a global effort against Iran, including deploying ships to the Strait of Hormuz. Germany's Chancellor Merz stated that while Iran shouldn't threaten its neighbors, the US-Israeli war plan lacks a convincing strategy and was pursued without consulting Europe. European leaders are wary of being drawn into a conflict they don't fully understand and that lacks domestic support. They believe the benefits of non-involvement outweigh the risks to transatlantic relations, which are already strained by disagreements over issues like the war in Ukraine and tariff disputes. The decision reflects a desire to avoid entanglement in a potentially unpredictable conflict.
