前北约秘书长延斯·斯托尔滕贝格承认联盟内部存在分歧，同时为欧洲在伊朗冲突中发挥的有限作用辩护。

前北约秘书长延斯·斯托尔滕贝格明确划定了北约在伊朗冲突中的角色界限，称不应让北约卷入支持美国军事行动，尽管唐纳德·特朗普总统正加大对欧洲盟友的施压——这暴露了北约应扮演何种角色的分歧日益加剧。
“北约是一个防御性联盟，”现任挪威财政大臣的斯托尔滕贝格在周三接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示，“针对伊朗的打击或战争，从未试图将其变为北约行动。”
斯托尔滕贝格将分歧的焦点定义为并非伊朗是否构成威胁，而是如何应对这一威胁：欧洲各国政府更倾向于通过制裁和外交施压，而非直接军事介入。
“我们都认同伊朗的核计划具有危险性，”他说，“问题在于我们如何实现这一目标。”

霍尔木兹海峡绝不让步——伊朗绝不能控制全球能源生命线
这一分歧反映了华盛顿与其盟友之间更深层次的不匹配：特朗普将这场冲突视为对北约支持的考验——敦促从霍尔木兹海峡获益的国家在军事上协助保卫该海峡——而欧洲各国政府大多拒绝这一做法，认为这场战争超出了北约的授权范围。
特朗普尖锐批评北约盟友拒绝支持美国与这场冲突相关的军事行动，有时甚至质疑北约的价值，并警告在霍尔木兹海峡紧张局势升级之际，北约未能通过关键考验。
“北约当时没有站在我们这边，未来它们也不会站在我们这边，”特朗普周三在Truth Social平台上说道。
这位总统在施压盟友加大支持和淡化其重要性之间摇摆不定，曾一度称北约的反应是“非常愚蠢的错误”，同时又坚称美国“不需要任何帮助”。
欧洲主要大国都抵制了特朗普提供军事支持的要求。
“大家的想法是，这不是欧洲的战争，”欧盟外交与安全政策高级代表卡娅·卡拉斯在3月17日发布的路透社采访中表示。

北约秘书长暗示盟友可能在霍尔木兹海峡采取行动，警告对美国存在“不健康的依赖”
西班牙阻止参与伊朗冲突的美国军机使用其领空，并拒绝美国使用罗塔和莫隆的关键基地，迫使美军重新规划任务航线。法国提供了有限的后勤支持，但对与军事行动相关的部分飞越申请予以限制，将逐案进行审查。
斯托尔滕贝格驳斥了欧洲整体抛弃美国的说法，辩称大多数盟友仍在幕后提供了后勤支持。
“大多数欧洲盟友确保其基地和基础设施可供美国使用，”他说，“也存在一些例外，但多数国家都做出了贡献。”
英国和罗马尼亚等国允许美军使用基地进行加油、侦察和防御行动，尽管它们拒绝直接参与作战任务。
这场紧张局势凸显了北约内部更广泛的分歧：特朗普将伊朗冲突视为对北约支持的考验，而北约领导层则明确区分了正式义务与政治期望，坚持认为这场战争不属于北约的核心使命。
“特朗普总统已经明确表达了对英国和其他北约盟友的不满，正如总统所强调的，‘美国会记住这一点’，”白宫发言人安娜·凯利在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示。
在4月1日接受《每日电讯报》采访时，当被问及是否会让美国退出北约时，特朗普称这一举措“不在考虑范围之内”。
伊朗冲突于2月底爆发，美国和以色列对伊朗目标发动打击，引发德黑兰的报复行动，包括封锁霍尔木兹海峡——这条全球关键航运航道承担着全球约五分之一的能源供应。此后，美国发动了空袭并实施海上封锁，旨在加大施压力度，迫使伊朗重新开放该海峡。

这场冲突带来的经济后果也影响了欧洲各国对这场战争及其自身角色的看法。
欧洲天然气价格大幅上涨——冲突初期上涨约50%，随着液化天然气供应中断加剧，有时涨幅几乎翻倍。

不过，挪威的影响更为复杂。作为欧洲最大的石油和天然气出口国之一，该国有望从更高的油价中获益，同时更广泛的经济不稳定也会给国内经济带来风险。
“存在两种影响，”斯托尔滕贝格说，“油价上涨时，我们的石油和天然气收入会增加。但与此同时……当通胀上升、经济增长放缓时，这会影响我们的经济。”
WATCH: Ex-NATO chief draws red line as Trump fumes alliance abandoned US during Iran war
2026-04-15 1:47pm EDT / Fox News
Former NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg acknowledges disagreements inside the alliance while defending Europe’s limited role in the Iran conflict.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Former NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg signaled clear limits on the alliance’s role in the Iran conflict, saying it should not be pulled into supporting U.S. military operations even as President Donald Trump ramps up pressure on European allies — exposing a growing divide over what NATO is meant to do.
“NATO is a defensive alliance,” Stoltenberg, now Norway’s finance minister, told Fox News Digital in an interview Wednesday. “The strikes or the war against Iran were never an attempt to make that into a NATO operation.”
Stoltenberg framed the disagreement not over whether Iran poses a threat, but over how to confront it, with European governments favoring sanctions and diplomatic pressure over direct military involvement.
“We all agree the Iranian nuclear program is dangerous,” he said. “The question is how we achieve that goal.”

NO RETREAT AT HORMUZ — IRAN MUST NOT CONTROL THE WORLD’S ENERGY LIFELINE
The divide reflects a deeper mismatch between Washington and its allies: Trump has treated the conflict as a test of NATO support — urging countries that benefit from the Strait of Hormuz to help secure it militarily — while European governments have largely rejected that approach, arguing the war falls outside the alliance’s mandate.
Trump has sharply criticized NATO allies for refusing to back U.S. operations tied to the conflict, at times questioning the alliance’s value and warning it had failed a key test as tensions escalated in the Strait of Hormuz.
“NATO wasn’t there for us, and they won’t be there for us in the future,” Trump said Wednesday on Truth Social.
The president has alternated between pressuring allies to step up and downplaying their importance, at one point calling NATO’s response a “very foolish mistake” while also insisting the United States “doesn’t need any help.”
Major European powers have resisted Trump’s push to provide military support.
“The feeling is, this is not Europe’s war,” European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas told Reuters in an interview published March 17.

NATO CHIEF SIGNALS ALLIES MAY ACT ON HORMUZ, WARNS OF ‘UNHEALTHY CODEPENDENCE’ ON US
Spain blocked U.S. aircraft involved in the Iran conflict from using its airspace and denied access to key bases at Rota and Morón, forcing American forces to reroute missions. France has provided limited logistical support but restricted certain overflight requests tied to military operations, reviewing them on a case-by-case basis.
Stoltenberg pushed back on the idea that Europe has broadly abandoned the United States, arguing most allies have still provided logistical support behind the scenes.
“The majority of European allies have made sure that their bases and infrastructure were available for the United States,” he said. “There are some exceptions, but most have contributed.”
Countries like the United Kingdom and Romania have allowed U.S. forces to use bases for refueling, surveillance and defensive operations even as they declined direct combat roles.
The tension underscores a broader split inside the alliance: Trump has framed the Iran conflict as a test of NATO support, while NATO leadership has drawn a clear distinction between formal obligations and political expectations, maintaining the war falls outside the alliance’s core mission.
“President Trump has made his disappointment with the United Kingdom and other NATO allies clear, and as the President emphasized, ‘the United States will remember,” White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told Fox News Digital.
Asked whether he would pull the U.S. out of NATO, Trump said the move was “beyond reconsideration” in an interview with The Telegraph on April 1.
The Iran conflict began in late February after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets triggered retaliation from Tehran, including the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping lane that carries roughly a fifth of the world’s energy supply. The U.S. has since launched airstrikes and imposed a naval blockade aimed at increasing pressure to reopen the strait.

The economic fallout from the conflict is also shaping how European countries view the war and their role in it.
European natural gas prices surged — jumping around 50% early in the conflict and, at times, nearly doubling as LNG supply disruptions intensified.

For Norway, however, the impact is more mixed. As one of Europe’s largest oil and gas exporters, the country stands to benefit from higher prices even as broader economic instability creates risks at home.
“There are two effects,” Stoltenberg said. “When prices are going up, our oil and gas revenues will increase. But at the same time … when inflation increases and economic growth slows, it will affect our economy.”
