I thought the US already destroyed 100% of the Iranian military? If I were an ally, it would sound to me like the help is not needed as there is no military remaining to fight.
Like how the US protected Ukraine when it gave up its nukes, trusting that the West and NATO would protect them if Russia decided to invade?
I know, that invasion began between Orange Man’s two terms, but still. The US in general needs to STFU about how it supposedly protects the world, they dropped the ball bigtime there.

The U.S. has threatened a founding member of NATO with a war of aggression, and furthermore, the U.S. is committing war crimes alongside the genocidal Israel - this is the situation in which the U.S. is calling for support for a war of aggression that tramples on international law. Or to put it another way: It is the situation that a narcissist - who should have been in prison for decades - has brought about with what he calls the “Art of the Deal.” GTFO!
Even if NATO wanted to help, it can’t. Trump and the US’s actions are opposed to the charter. Unlike the Trump government, NATO nations stick to their laws to ensure it doesn’t go psycho, rogue, or aggressive.
Countries of NATO may act independently of NATO—under their own banner—but consider how much the US has slandered and abused them, it’s looking unlikely.
