TL;DR

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Italy, Germany, and France did not respond to the U.S. request for assistance in the war against Iran, according to N12's Tal Sagi. The statement adds to Trump's growing criticism of European allies over their refusal to support American military operations against Tehran.

01 · THE DISPATCH

President Donald Trump stated Tuesday that Italy, Germany, and France did not respond to a U.S. request for assistance in the war against Iran, as reported by N12's Tal Sagi. The remark, accompanied by a Reuters photo, was made without elaboration on the nature of the request or the timeframe.

The comment comes amid ongoing U.S. military operations against Iran. Trump has previously expressed disappointment with Germany over its lack of support in the Iran war and suggested possible troop reductions, as The Zioneer reported. He also accused Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of refusing landing rights for U.S. military aircraft, and later mocked her for allegedly 'begging' for a photo at the G7 summit, according to earlier Zioneer reports.

No specific new request was detailed in the latest statement. The three European countries have traditionally maintained a more cautious approach to the conflict, seeking diplomatic solutions.
