As Trump and Netanyahu Push for War, Europe Is Once Again Silent
Briefly

The article discusses the recent Israeli-American offensive against Iran, asserting it exemplifies a manufactured crisis aimed at regime change. Donald Trump's dual threats and proposed negotiations with Iran come amidst escalating military action, including a bombing operation on Iranian nuclear facilities. European nations, lacking a cohesive policy, have responded passively to the situation, offering little more than calls for de-escalation while seemingly endorsing Israeli aggression. The piece criticizes the silence of European powers and their alignment with U.S.-Israeli actions, emphasizing the need for a stronger, unified foreign policy response to the illegal offensive.
As Donald Trump moved last week closer and closer to the Israeli position, European powers had little to offer besides pro forma calls for de-escalation.
European capitals have watched the Israeli and US offensive from the sidelines, proving characteristically unwilling to throw what weight they have on the scales.
On June 21, Washington launched a large bombing operation against Iranian nuclear facilities, bringing the broader Middle East one step closer to another devastating war of choice.
This new phase is characterized by Trump’s ultimatum to Iran: unconditional surrender on the nuclear program or face massive destruction.
