What is Europe's stance on the Israel-Iran conflict?
Divisions and anxiety rise in Europe over hostilities in the Middle East. The German leader and European Commission president were quick to back Israel as the conflict began with Iran last Friday. The European Union has since called for de-escalation, reflecting growing anxiety over what might happen next. So, what is the thinking in European capitals – and how much influence does Europe really have?

Can Israel thwart Iran's nuclear programme?
Israel hit Iran's nuclear facilities, killed several of the country's top nuclear scientists, along with the head of the Revolutionary Guard and several military leaders, and damaged residential areas in Tehran. Iran retaliated by sending hundreds of armed drones towards Israel. Israel says it had intelligence showing Iran's nuclear programme was 'developing beyond the point of return'. But the IAEA points out striking nuclear facilities is illegal under international law, as well as dangerous. Is it really possible for Israel to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities and is it risking a nuclear disaster by trying?
