The US-Israel war on Iran has triggered what former US NATO Ambassador Ivo Daalder calls the "worst crisis" in the alliance's 77-year history, with at least six member states refusing to support Washington's military operations and several closing their airspace to US warplanes. The rift — driven by disagreements over consultation, international law, and who bears the costs of a war Europe did not start — has raised fundamental questions about NATO's Article 5 credibility, its eastern flank deterrence against Russia, and whether the alliance can survive a deepening transatlantic trust deficit.
