Every country that has rejected Donald Trump’s call to join the war against Iran – and one surprising country that agreed

Donald Trump has struggled to gain support for “Operation Epic Fury,” his latest move against Iran. After calling on allies to join, the response has been largely unenthusiastic.

Many countries have declined or responded with caution, fueling concern about how far the conflict could escalate. In Europe, several major countries have made their positions clear.

The United Kingdom, traditionally one of the US’s closest allies, has ruled out participating in any further military action tied to the operation.

“Britain won’t be drawn into the wider war,” Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized, though he did signal a willingness to help work toward a “viable plan.” He also shut down any speculation about NATO stepping in, according to VT, saying: “Let me be clear: that won’t be, and it’s never been envisioned to be, a NATO mission.”
