• Iran has shown an alarming increase in its armament capacity, putting Europe within its reach.
• The attack on American and British bases on Diego Garcia reinforces Iran's willingness to globalize the conflict.
• The war in the Middle East is no longer outside the European security sphere.
• Years of sanctions did not stop the development of Iran's armament program.
• It is crucial for the EU to increase its defense spending and promote its strategic autonomy.

Conclusion: European security is now threatened by an external conflict and needs a capacity of its own to anticipate, deter and, if necessary, respond.
