the level of material support for the US agression towards Iran has been less than before, maybe even remarkably so.

That has nothing to do with morals or the imaginary independence from the US.
The only difference is that Iran is not a defenseless resource-rich country where they can help the big bully leader in return for some crumbs of the loot.
They know joining this war would mean actual war and cost them a lot.
It's pure cowardice.
You only have to hear what that worm Rutte says or the ghouls VDL and Kallas.
They shamelessly give full verbal support to the nazi empire, condemn Iran and would be helping the war criminals if it were without consequence.
There is no fracture.

    Where did I say anything about morality? I said the material support has fallen, which is a drastic shift for the lackeys of the empire. They absolutely had the cowardly option, like they always has, to let the US use their bases, defend their actions diplomatically and provide military and logistical support after the initial invasion.

    The support is not there (comparatively to before). The old NATO is dead and its not just an unspoken truth anymore. The European countries are preparing to split with the US, mostly because they fear to be abandoned, but the material steps already taken will ensure that ultimately they will renegotiate the compromise NATO always was for them.

    Which is why we should pay attention to how defiant (read on a toothless European scale) the rest of NATO has been post the Greenland crisis. This will increase as the material dependency on the US as a security guarantee falters further.

    You didn't, I saw it as implied.
    And there is no split with NATO, that is theater and shock therapy .
    Now we vassals are already impoverished from sanctions and economic consequences they could not get the population to pay more for the US wars.
    They created this fake rift and just like that we're on our own and our last cent has got to go to our defense.
    'To our defense' in reality means being filling the bottomless hole of ukraine.

    The US have outsourced the cost to us vassals so they can tackle China, Iran or whatever they want to harrass.
    In 2 years when Trump is gone we'll suddenly be friends again with a respectable US imperialist democratic president warmonger.
    The extortionate war crap rates will be kept in place.
    Suckered again.
