European politicians risk angering their voters if they join America’s war. Yet they could also face domestic upheaval if they take no action to reopen shipping routes that Iran has blocked and ease an energy crisis.

The 2,000 paratroopers heading to the region may give President Trump more leverage in negotiations, but they also leave him with the option of doubling down on military force.

Israeli military says it had prepared for a prolonged conflict after a news report said its supplies of ballistic missile interceptors were running “critically low.”

This time, President Trump went to war without preparing the public, seeking U.N. approval or even consulting allies. But they will have to pick up the pieces.
