#1 Why should European countries discuss any military plans outside of their own borders? They have no offensive abilities that can reach Iran other than the British nuke subs. I suspect the French ones are targeting more British sites than Iranian. Mostly the remaining Euro forces are follow on type organizations incapable of fighting their way in. Even then the usually mode of operation is to hunker down and carefully not upset the locals. So 'Action Against' isn't really in their skill sets.

#5 Anything we discuss in NATO get to the French. I doubt if we will have anything to do with the French and perhjaps the Germans in the run up to action. They simply are not credible allies.
