**Confronting Iran: Europe’s Blindness and America’s Resolve**
Europe continues to display a concerning naivety in its dealings with the Iranian regime, demonstrating the deeply flawed tactics of appeasement that history has proven futile.
As the E3—France, Germany, and the United Kingdom—signals a revival of nuclear negotiations with Iran, many are left wondering if world leaders have learned anything from past mistakes.
This approach risks not just encouraging Iran’s aggression but also emboldening its capacity for terror.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the United States adopted a more effective strategy by imposing strict sanctions on the Iranian regime and refusing immediate diplomacy without the leverage of pressure.
In stark contrast, Europe’s decision to re-engage diplomatically appears as a misguided return to the old script of negotiating with a regime known for its hostility and disregard for international norms.
The implications are seriously troubling.
Historically, attempts to appease aggressors have resulted in more significant conflicts.
The disastrous 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agreement led to Iran receiving billions in sanctions relief, which ultimately strengthened its support for terrorist organizations, including Hezbollah and Hamas.
Are European leaders so shortsighted that they cannot recognize the cycle of concessions leading to greater turmoil?
Each diplomatic overture risks providing the Iranian regime with much-needed financial resources, enabling it to perpetrate further destabilization in the region while holding weaker commitments to restraint.
Rather than offering incentives that in the past have only emboldened Tehran, the West must adopt a zero-tolerance stance against Iranian aggression.
Cutting off financial resources, tightening sanctions, and holding firm against appeasement is the only path toward restoring accountability and security.
Under Trump’s increasingly tough policies, significant pressure was maintained on Iran, leading to a more difficult environment for the regime in its pursuit of malign activities.
As Iran's economy suffers and internal dissatisfaction with the regime continues to grow, now is not the time for Europe to relax its pressure but rather to enhance it.
In the face of a regime known for its repressive tactics and significant threats to regional and global stability, Western leaders must reject the compulsion to treat such an actor as a legitimate negotiating partner.
Conciliation should not be on the table when dealing with a government that executes dissidents and threatens world peace.
The stakes are too high for Europe to fall into the trap of appeasement once again.
If lessons from history remain unheeded, the consequences could be dire, not just for the Middle East but for global security as a whole.
The time has come for a renewed commitment to a stronger, more principled stance against Iranian aggression, driven by unwavering American resolve and leadership.
