Both President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth expressing disappointment that some traditional U.S. allies are pushing back on the use of force against Iran while Washington presses forward with its campaign against the terror state. The criticism reflects growing frustration inside the administration that while some European capitals have issued statements of support, operational backing has not matched the rhetoric, raising fresh questions about NATO cohesion at a moment of escalation. Spain refused U.S. permission to use certain bases for strikes on Iran, and Turkey has also criticized the operation and warned of broader regional destabilization.
FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Victoria Coates, former deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump, Vice President of the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation, and author of 'The Battle for the Jewish State: How Israel―and America―Can Win,' who says the lack of support by longtime allies is surprising, and it could have a large effect on the balance power in the world.
