EUROPEAN UPDATE
This morning, Europe faces economic challenges and political tensions
The United States has launched attacks on three Iranian uranium enrichment sites, marking its entry into the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict.
NATO ambassadors from all 32 member states approved a new spending pledge to increase defence budgets to 5% of GDP by 2035, amid concerns over threats from Russia and China.
The threat to the UK from Iran is already at a “significant level” and could increase following the US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, a cabinet minister has told Sky News.
During an emergency Security Council meeting, Iran condemned US actions as “blatant aggression” and asserted the need for a strong global response against these “crimes.”
Donald Trump’s military actions against Iran risk escalating into a broader regional or global conflict, dependent largely on responses from Iran’s key allies, Russia and China.
Donald Trump is betting that US airstrikes have effectively destroyed Iranian nuclear sites, despite military officials suggesting full destruction is unlikely and that the strikes may only set back Iran’s programme.
