US Compiling List of Allies Failing to Support Its Stance on Iran
The United States administration is compiling a list of NATO member states that have failed to support Washington's position in the conflict with Iran. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to the influential publication Politico, citing its sources, the White House is seriously considering the possibility of taking specific measures against these countries. Reportedly, the US government has prepared a special document classifying allies into 'good' and 'bad' categories based on their level of cooperation.
This document provides a detailed analysis of the contributions made by North Atlantic Alliance members to the organization's activities, ranking states across various levels. Notably, this initiative was developed ahead of NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's visit to Washington in early April.
While the full details of the document have not yet been publicly disclosed, the anticipated measures are expected to be quite stringent. Specifically, Washington is considering options such as reducing NATO funding, decreasing the American military contingent stationed in Europe, or relocating them.
Furthermore, to limit cooperation, discussions are underway regarding the suspension of joint military exercises and the revision of arms trade agreements. This approach was first proposed by US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth late last year.
In his view, active and loyal allies should receive additional privileges, while countries that fail to meet their obligations should face appropriate consequences. US President Donald Trump has also repeatedly stated his intention to fundamentally revise existing policies within NATO.
He has openly expressed dissatisfaction with certain allied nations for not providing sufficient support to Washington regarding the Iran situation. Analysts note that disagreements between the US and other alliance members have been deepening recently.
In particular, the Greenland issue and the sluggishness of European nations in providing military aid have drawn sharp objections from Washington. Experts express concern that the emergence of such a 'blacklist' could undermine unity within the organization and trigger new tensions in international relations.
