Ivo Daalder, former US ambassador to NATO, stated that President Trump's threats to withdraw from NATO and confrontations with European allies have led to the worst crisis in NATO's history. He criticized the US/Iran war as a strategic blunder that has depleted military resources and destabilized NATO. Daalder warned that this situation could embolden adversaries like Russia and China. He also noted that Iran has gained the upper hand in ceasefire negotiations and is controlling the Strait of Hormuz, impacting global oil prices.
