European allies claim NATO is a defensive alliance, which is true, and that they donโt want to get involved. But the U.S. never asked them to participate in offensive strikesโthey only requested access to their own bases in Europe, and some โalliesโ refused.
Spain, Italy, and France denied access to their airspace and U.S. bases for operations, claiming โitโs not our war.โ Yet, the U.S. is still deeply involved in Ukraine, where surprisingly, Ukraine has been far more supportive and cooperative with both the U.S. and Israel.
The U.S. shouldnโt leave NATO, but the alliance clearly needs restructuring or a serious reevaluation. The Iran war exposed Europeโs uncooperativeโand at times borderline hostileโstance toward the U.S.
Countries like Spain, Italy, France, and Germany limited access or avoided deeper involvement despite their dependence on Middle East energy.
The imbalance fueled frustration in Washington, with Donald Trump questioning NATOโs value as the conflict exposed a one-sided alliance.
Europe and NATO largely failed to support the U.S. during the Iran war.
While the United States carried out over 11,000 plus strikes and directly confronted the iranian regime, most major European allies offered minimal or conditional backing.
