The United States is weighing severe punishments for NATO allies who did not support Washington in the Iran war, with Spain being a primary target. In response, NATO has officially stated its founding treaty contains no provisions for suspending membership or expulsion. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has now commented on the rift, emphasizing that 'NATO must remain united' and calling it a 'source of strength.' The public disagreement highlights significant strain within the alliance over the Trump administration's Iran policy.
