Description

US President Donald Trump has lashed out at Nato and other US allies, saying he has been told they "don't want to get involved" in the war in the Middle East. In a post on Truth Social, he said, "we no longer 'need,' or desire, the Nato countries' assistance". Meanwhile, Israel said it’s killed Iran's security chief Ali Larijani in a strike. Iran has not confirmed whether he has been killed or injured. On day 18 of the war, Iraq has been battling a wave of drone and rocket attacks in the skies above Baghdad, and Israel has continued to strike Hezbollah targets in Lebanon - as western leaders called for deescalation in the face of a growing humanitarian crisis.

Why should they join us, if America wasn't attacked? I can see no Article 5 here. They are not obliged.
