Europe’s Iran position is impossible to defend on values. But it’s even harder to defend on self-interest.

Europe backs a war it didn’t start, won’t fight, and can’t afford.

Washington gets the geopolitical prize.

Europe gets the bill: higher energy costs, migration pressure, political instability and a rules-based order a little more worthless the next time a great power decides it doesn’t need a UN mandate.

A coalition of small and medium powers, with no reliable protector and everything to lose from a world governed by brute force, just cheered on brute force.

Who exactly is this foreign policy for?
