Europe has been caught off guard by the escalating US-Israeli war on Iran and now the consequences are hitting hard.
From rising energy prices to the risk of inflation and political divisions, European leaders are scrambling to respond. The EU has rejected Trump's call for military action in Strait of Hormuz as well as a number of other countries, including the UK.
The US President is attempting to unblock the strategic waterway to enable the flow of oil, fertiliser and other crucial goods to pass.
As some countries refuse military involvement and others push for diplomacy, Europe is looking divided. Is it prepared for the impact the war on Iran?
