The Iran war is threatening to unravel the NATO alliance again.
But for all of President Donald Trumps threats and anger over allies refusal to assist with the U.S. military campaign, his rhetoric has yet to be matched by any signs of concrete action.
NATO diplomats, congressional aides and defense officials say the administration has not had the kinds of discussions needed to leave the nearly eight decade alliance.
The U.S. has not started any debate inside NATO or issued specific directives on Washington's role in the alliance, according to two NATO diplomats. The Trump administration has not notified Capitol Hill of a pending pullout, according to a senior Senate aide. And talk around the Pentagon of the U.S. withdrawing from the alliance is mum, a defense official said.
