Allen analyzes US-Iran conflict in The Conversation

Michael A. Allen, a professor of political science at Boise State University, co-authored a recent article for The Conversation, "NATO's internal cohesion is being threatened (again) - but in pushing for support on Iran, Trump may risk eroding US influence on the alliance," where he analyzes how the 2026 U.S.-Israeli war in Iran has deepened divisions within NATO and threatened the alliance's long-term stability.

Drawing on his expertise in foreign policy and security cooperation, Allen helps explain the historical context of disagreements within NATO, compares the current tensions to past conflicts like Iraq and Vietnam, and argues that President Trump's approach to alliances is more transactional and misaligned with European priorities.
