German \"Spiegel\"<\/a>NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte informed European capitals that Washington expects concrete moves in the coming days \u2013 sending warships or other military capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPolitical support, which has existed since the beginning of the conflict, is no longer sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diplomatic sources state that this request practically represents an ultimatum, as it demands a clear choice from Europe \u2013 either military engagement or consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Threats to allies: Who is not with the US \u2013 remains without protection?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Trump is further increasing pressure on NATO partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to American media, a list of European countries that supported the US in the conflict with Iran, as well as those that refused to cooperate, is being drawn up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a possibility that American troops will be withdrawn from countries that do not meet Washington's expectations, which would represent a serious security and political upheaval within the NATO alliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lebanon is burning, the ceasefire is breaking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, the conflict on the ground is not abating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israel launched massive attacks on Lebanon, killing more than 200 people and wounding over 1,000. Hezbollah then resumed rocket attacks on Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The key problem lies in the different interpretations of the ceasefire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iran and Pakistan claim that the agreement also includes Lebanon, while the US and Israel insist that part is not included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This difference in interpretation further raises tensions and calls into question the survival of the ceasefire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Strait of Hormuz: The Point That Could Set the World on Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The focus is on the Strait of Hormuz \u2013 one of the world's most important oil transport routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iran warns ships that they must have permission to pass, and information is circulating about possible mines in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Any ship attempting to pass without permission may be destroyed,\" the warnings state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Such threats further increase the risk to global trade and energy stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Europe divided, criticism of Israel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
While Washington seeks military engagement, European countries are increasingly openly criticizing Israeli attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officials from the European Union and Great Britain say the attacks on Lebanon are excessive and are calling for that country to join the ceasefire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spain went a step further \u2013 it refused to cooperate with the US and banned overflights by American military aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Such divisions further complicate relations within the Western alliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Russia the biggest beneficiary of the crisis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
While the West debates, Russia is already reaping the fruits of the crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to rising oil prices, Moscow's revenues from energy sales are expected to increase significantly, further changing the global balance of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iran does not give in: Nuclear program remains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Ahead of possible negotiations, Iran has made it clear that it will not give up on uranium enrichment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tehran rejects American demands and emphasizes that it will not give up its nuclear program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This makes it even more difficult to reach a lasting agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion: A world between truce and new war<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Although a ceasefire formally exists, the reality on the ground shows a different picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conflicts in Lebanon, pressure on Europe, and threats in the Strait of Hormuz indicate that the region remains on the brink of a new escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump's ultimatum to Europe further raises the stakes \u2013 because the decision to engage could mean the difference between stabilization and the spread of conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
