      President Trump will be unable to launch a war against Iran if European allies continue to oppose the move, Franco Frattini told RT. \u041dowever, Europes influence is waning due to internal divisions, the Italian diplomat added.      \n<\/code><\/pre>\n
A united European Union could serve as a bulwark against US attempts to seek regime change in Iran, believes Frattini, a former Italian foreign minister, now the president of the Italian Society for International Organizations.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think America cannot do it [while] having [a stance] against the whole of European Union and, I would add, NATO would be strongly against [it, as well],\u201d<\/em> he told RTs Eunan ONeill on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Frattini has direct experience as a member of an EU government during the time of another US-led foreign military intervention \u2013 against Iraq. In 2003, when a US coalition invaded that country, he was serving his first term as a foreign minister in the government of Silvio Berlusconi.<\/p>\n
                           Also on rt.com             US-Iran war wouldnt last very long, not talking boots on the ground \u2013 Trump                            <\/a><\/p>\n
Berlusconi supported the invasion at the time. His support put him at odds with fellow EU members and NATO allies such as France and Germany who called for diplomacy instead of military intervention. The UK government of then-Prime Minister Tony Blair, however, gave Washington unconditional support, lending partial European endorsement to Bushs so-called \u201ccoalition of the willing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
Frattini conceded that the European Union is currently not ideally placed to resist US saber-rattling in the Middle East. \u201cEurope has been losing its important political leverage \u2026 this outgoing European commission is very weak. Member states are divided while addressing the issue of Iran,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n
He also castigated EU member state leaders for opting for a sanctions bypass rather than pushing for political negotiations. \u201cIt was a mistake \u2026 Because if you choose a mechanism to bypass it means that you couldnt agree with the best option. The best option is a political negotiation,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n
                           Also on rt.com             Iraq wont let US strike Iran from its territory                            <\/a><\/p>\n
But nonetheless, he made it clear that the US is significantly constrained by European reluctance to unconditionally support Washingtons foreign policy.<\/p>\n
