Brussels has shifted into crisis mode, with emergency meetings piling up Saturday and Sunday.

As European leaders raced to respond to the rapidly escalating conflict in the Middle East on Saturday after the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran, the crisis exposed fault lines inside Europe — and across the Atlantic.

. . .

Brussels moved quickly to strike a cautious tone. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warned on X that the situation was “perilous,” while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stressed it was “of the utmost importance” to prevent further escalation. European Parliament President Roberta Metsola also urged restraint.

At the national level, however, Europe’s message was less unified.

          Nice Zionist atrocity propaganda, surely an Iraq-style “government reorganization” will help wonders! No mention of the current government in Iran being literally the consequence of western meddling!

          If the west wanted a secular democratic government in Iran we wouldn’t have destroyed Mosaddeq’s political project and reinstated an authoritarian Shah. We want an underdeveloped and servient Iran to exploit their oil cheaply, literally the same story every decade.

          The question is: did you fall for the atrocity propaganda yourself yet another decade? Or are you willingly running Zionist atrocity propaganda?

              Totally, yeah dude, “invite the genocidal imperialists in to aid in the revolution” is the mentality of a person who has experienced any level of oppression. You’ve had a very hard life, I’m sure, typical Euro Lib who thinks having to do anything is adversity. You had to study for your exams? That’s about the same as having your entire life bombed into oblivion, or at the very least you know as well as someone who did experience that because you watched a video.

              Gaslighting language and ignorance, you really are a bad person.

              “Realpolitik choices make me support the genocidal Zionist regime and the US in their attempt to destroy Iranian sovereignty to turn Iran into another Iraq, Syria or Libya”

                  You’ve shown your true colours. Regardless, the antizionist axis of resistance will defeat the empire’s genocidal forces, they’re already being humilliated. Cope.

          Iranians can have complaints about their situation, without looking for a Zionist puppet to rule over them.

      Who the actual fuck do you think you are? Killing children isn’t helping Iran and will never help Iran. What you just said was so fucking colonizer-brained it’s unreal, please point out which school in your neighbourhood you’d want bombed if it meant the city finally implemented better public transit. You’d what, welcome a nuke in D.C. if it meant the fascists were gone? 9/11 was helping the Americans by attacking the capitalists? There would not be a fucking oppressive regime in Iran if the US did not overthrow their democratically elected government half a century ago. How the fuck are you talking about this like you know anything? Some people told you it was bad there and you wat, never even tried to learn why that happened?

      Legality also does not fucking matter, laws are enforced on the vulnerable to the benefit of the powerful. How many invasions do you think the US has conducted legally, exactly?
