Arabic version: أوروبا تواجه ضغوطًا مع تصاعد الصراع في إيران

As US President Donald Trump pushes deeper into war with Iran, Europe is keeping its distance, calling it “not our war”. But as strikes on Gulf energy facilities send oil and gas prices soaring, that distance is being tested.

According to Al Jazeera, in a rare joint move, leaders from across Europe and Japan have pledged to help stabilize energy markets and ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. This commitment reflects the urgency of addressing the economic fallout from the ongoing hostilities.

The question remains whether Europe can stay out of the fighting while being pulled in by its economic consequences. As the situation evolves, the balance between political decisions and economic realities will be crucial for European nations.
