Trump is talking about nuclear catastrophe again. This time the context is Europe. "There is nothing worse than a nuclear holocaust in Europe," the American president stated while the US prepares for new strikes against Iran. Whether this is a warning or a threat depends on who is listening.

The US-Iran conflict has entered its 56th day. Iran charges transit fees for Hormuz in rials, the EU is losing around 500 million euros daily due to the conflict, oil has crossed the 100-dollar-per-barrel threshold. Syria is being considered as an alternative energy corridor to Europe.

Iran warns it will respond "eye for eye" if attacked again. NATO has tensions with Spain over lack of support. Pakistan is trying to mediate a ceasefire. And Trump? Trump says allies are not necessary, but they should have participated.

Europe between hammer and anvil

Five hundred million euros a day. That is what this conflict costs Europe. Every day. Oil prices rise, transport costs rise, inflation grows. And the decisions are made in Washington and Tehran - not in Brussels. Europe pays the bill for someone else's war without even having a seat at the table where decisions are made. Does this remind you of something?
