NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has expressed support for recent United States and Israeli military operations against Iran, stating the actions were aimed at weakening Tehran's capacity to develop nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities. Rutte's statement on Saturday marks a significant official position from the military alliance amid a sharp escalation of direct conflict in the region.
The endorsement follows a volatile 24-hour period that began with reports of intense overnight Israeli airstrikes in Iran In an apparent response, Iran reportedly fired missiles towards Israel. Air raid sirens were activated across occupied East Jerusalem, where explosions and visible air defence interceptions were reported in the sky late Saturday
These direct state-to-state military exchanges signal a new and more dangerous phase in the long-running hostilities, moving beyond previous proxy confrontations. The backing from the head of NATO underscores international concern over Iran's military programs and adds a new diplomatic dimension to the rapidly developing situation.
