Europe Is Deluded for Not Backing U.S. in Iran
(Telegraph-UK) Editorial - The view from Europe's capitals appears to be that the war in Iran has nothing to do with them. But the notion that an end to this conflict without a clear U.S. victory would be positive for Europe is deluded. The Americans and Israelis appear to have achieved many of their objectives, including defanging the missile, drone and nuclear programs that have given Tehran such disproportionate influence in world affairs. But if Donald Trump decides to walk away now, after Tehran's campaign of blackmail in the Strait of Hormuz, the ayatollahs will still be perceived by many to have bested the U.S. Iran's neighbors no doubt also fear the consequences of a premature end to the conflict and a perceived victory for the ayatollahs.
