EDAM Chairperson Ambassador (R) Tacan Ildem argues in his assessment for T24 that the war with Iran is not merely a military confrontation, but a multilayered crisis exposing the erosion of U.S. leadership, the crisis of confidence within NATO, transatlantic divergence, and the broader unraveling of the international order. He further underlines that the NATO Summit in Ankara will be of critical importance in containing the impact of these fractures on the Alliance and in reaffirming a common political will.
