– I fear the consequences of this fresh escalation between Israel and Iran, due to the fact that the grim fact is that we will all pay for it.
If they are destabilizing – and this is happening at the minute for apparent reasons – the prices of natural materials, including oil prices, will mean an increase in petrol prices at our petrol stations. And the increase in fuel prices translates rapidly into an increase in prices of almost all products and services, including in Poland. So the effects of this fresh escalation, this fresh phase of the war, can be very bad for us – emphasizes Michał Kobosko, a associate of the European Parliament from Poland 2050.
Much depends on whether the Ormuz Strait is blocked and oil supply from the mediate East is reduced
– Panzonki about the European army are dreams, it should be clearly stated. Each EU associate State must, and that is fortunately already happening, not only to think and to speak, but besides to do more and more to build its own safety in common coordination," says Michał Kobosko. In the context of global conflicts, including the Israel-Iran lines, Poland believes that Poland should focus on cooperation with both the Community and the United States.
According to analysts from Reflex, the escalation of the Israeli–Iran line's conflict can contribute to diametric price changes in the home fuel market. At the moment, we are talking about several- and even several-gross increases in the price of petrol and diesel on part of the station. However, much depends on whether the Ormuz Strait is blocked and the supply of oil from the mediate East is reduced.
Russia utilized and uses Iranian technological solutions
The escalation of Israel's conflict with Iran is besides crucial in the context of global security. In particular, the ongoing war in Ukraine and further actions of Russia.
– Russia utilized and uses Iranian technological solutions. Especially from famous, infamous drones, which are utilized even in fresh days to attack flat blocks in Kiev. We see how terrible losses are caused by a country that straight assists Russia in the invasion, in the attack on Ukraine. So if Iran is thus incapable to export its war technology, that is good for Ukraine. inactive a long way to keep it safe. So Putin would end this war and get clear, unambiguous signals, besides from president Trump's administration, that he should not proceed to carry out his murderous plans. due to the fact that it is absolutely not worth it for him and Russia,” explains the MEP.
Today they are crucial in the planet we live in
He notes that the world's geopolitical situation is becoming increasingly tense, and many countries that have not thought about their frequently very aggressive ambitions have felt more confident. The U.S. attitude that comes out of the function of a “world-stabilizer” contributes to this.
– present under president Trump's second term, the United States To a large extent, the United States gives up this role, leaving it. These are inactive first and foremost the words of president Trump and his administration, not actions. For example, words about the possible simplification of the military presence of America in Europe, but words present are crucial in the planet in which we live," explains Michał Kobosko. “Many countries have decided that now there is no brake, no muzzle, no American bogeyman. So we can do whatever we want. And we have besides seen this in the form of another escalation between India and Pakistan, countries that have been conflicted for decades. This is simply a regional, very local dispute, inactive suspended and inactive unresolved, and I fear that specified situations will happen again," he adds.
We have a very dangerous situation.
It besides stresses that the threat may be posed by the aggressive attitude of the United States and, among others, by the desire to take over Greenland, which is dependent on the Kingdom of Denmark, a territory straight linked to the Community.
– This is simply a very dangerous situation, due to the fact that if the United States tries to take over anywhere in the world, what an example it is for warlords, all kinds of dictators, people who have unlimited ambitions and aggressive plans and yet have any military force. This would be destabilisation and destabilisation unfortunately ends in a war conflict, sooner or later," says Michał Kobosko.
ReArm Europe/Readiness 2030 Plan
The European Union's consequence to Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine and the change in US abroad policy is, among others, the request for urgent action to defend and defend the EU countries. In March 2025, the European Commission announced the 2030 ReArm Europe/Readiness Plan to enable EU countries to invest in enhancing defence capacity. It proposes that Community countries should be able to allocate up to 1.5% of GDP per year to defence without sanctions for excessive budget deficits. The EC estimates that the plan can activate as much as €800 billion and aid increase defence capacity in all associate States.
According to the Eurobarometer published in March 2025, 2 thirds of EU citizens (66%) want this to play a more crucial function in protecting against global crises and safety threats. safety and defence have been identified as the area where the EU should focus most. The survey shows that this is simply a precedence for 36% of respondents across the Union.
Europe and the United States are doomed to cooperate
– Today, on the another hand, this is not a situation where we will choose either America or Europe. I believe that Europe and the United States are doomed to cooperation. I absolutely do not belong to the camp of those who say that we should now be offended by America and should think solely of Europe, no, that is not possible, we request to be more realistic, more pragmatic and little convinced that America is forever and will be the guardian of Europe's interests and security, says the Euro MP.
