"The situation they have created is bad enough. It is difficult to see how this war ends in a peace deal that doesn't give a new lease on life to Iran's Islamic regime. Any deal that requires Iran to give up its enriched uran"
NATO members are urged to move past grievances about President Trump and coordinate immediately with the American armada in the Persian Gulf. The goal is to prevent Iran from deciding who can pass through the Strait of Hormuz. If Iran attempts to control the strait, it would face not only the United States and Israel but the entire Western alliance. Allowing Iran to seize the strait and threaten modernizing Arab Gulf states would keep the world’s critical oil lifeline in permanent instability. Europe depends heavily on Gulf gas for energy, and instability could force renewed reliance on Russia. The piece criticizes the war’s launch as lacking NATO consultation, strategy for postwar conditions, and UN legitimacy, while arguing that a peace outcome is difficult without giving Iran’s Islamic regime a renewed role.
