Trump threatens Iran, US-Iran tensions at NATO summit
At the NATO summit in Ankara, US President Donald Trump declared the interim accord with Iran 'over' and threatened to hit Iran 'very hard' after US strikes on Iranian targets. Iran retaliated by attacking 85 US military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait, and threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz in response to any future US attacks. The summit saw tensions between the US and key allies like Italy and Spain over military support for the strikes. Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni refused to allow US use of Italian bases and pushed for negotiations, while Spain's Prime Minister Sánchez downplayed Trump's angry criticism over defence spending and base access. Trump also promised Ukraine a license to produce Patriot missiles and made verbal gaffes confusing Zelensky with Putin and Iran with Japan. Gulf countries, particularly Bahrain and Kuwait, face direct consequences from the renewed conflict.

The coverage reveals a deep transatlantic rift over how to handle Iran. While the US under Trump pursues unilateral military escalation, key European allies prioritize diplomacy and refuse to be drawn into conflict. Iran's threats to close the Strait of Hormuz add economic urgency. Trump's erratic behaviour and gaffes undermine his diplomatic credibility. The Gulf states, hosting US bases, bear the immediate brunt. The story is framed very differently depending on the outlet's nationality and editorial line, but all agree the situation is highly volatile.
