Iran war shows why Europe is no longer relevant Submitted by Alain Gabon on Tue, 03/24/2026 - 13:05 The US-Israeli aggression also drives the last nail in the coffin of the 'rules-based world order' Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, speaks at a news conference in Brussels on 19 March 2026 (John Thys/AFP) Off The US and Israel have started another myopic and dangerous regional war that is ultimately doomed to be counterproductive for all. Unlike Israel, the US may be willing to settle for a significant and durable degradation of Iran ’s nuclear and missile capabilities, and of Tehran’s allies, especially Hezbollah . If they reach a point where they believe enough of those capabilities have been destroyed to neutralise any threat to Israel for at least the next several years, the Americans may settle for an “Ayatollah-lite” endgame with another theological regime.
