No. But you have to be out of touch with reality to think “Europe” will start a war of aggression against Iran. If you want to take the discussion further, please state the countries you believe might bomb Iran.
France, Poland, Hungary, Romania, any of the eastern European countries. They know America helped free them from the Russian oppression and are now our firm allies. Of course, most don’t have the firepower to do a strike.
Europe is LESS likely to strike, but what if oil went to 120 Euros/barrel? Such a price would devastate their economies… They then have to choose to acknowledge their new Muslim masters or fight back.

No, it wouldn´t.
It would probably make bio ethanol from handpicked daisies an economic sensible option.
Allready the EU is opening more spaces for agriculture, if this goes on we could cut agricultur subsidies!
Plus, if you would not blow up a significant part of the most efficient oil wells and threathened to attack the allmost as efficient ones in Iran, oil prices would come down.
You are also forgetting that we are much more energy efficient than you are and that oil is priced in dollars, i.e when the oil price went up, the dollar went down, setting off the inflationary effect.
Our inflation has been at around 2% each year, and yours?
Um, I am sorry the government founded on the most noble of principles EVER, does not trust you with that information.
