Europe holds Iran position – for now

(Zac Weisz – GZero) For the first three weeks of the Iran conflict, Europe made its position clear: this isn’t our war. Many countries on the continent joined the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, a move that wrought casualties and sweeping political backlash at home. They want to avoid a repeat – especially when the European public largely opposes this war, too. Then, in the early hours of Friday morning, Iran fired a pair of missiles at the joint UK-US military base in Diego Garcia, a British-held island in the Indian Ocean that sits roughly 2,500 miles from Iranian shores. The missiles didn’t reach their target: one failed in flight, while the other appeared to be intercepted. – Could Europe get involved in Iran? – GZERO Media
