Nato chief says ‘widespread support’ for US’s Iran military campaign
Nato chief Mark Rutte has said there was broad backing among US and European allies for Trump’s military campaign against Iran, AFP reports.
“I feel widespread support in Europe. I was on the phone with many leaders over the weekend and also early this week,” Rutte told journalists on a visit to North Macedonia.
“I clearly sensed that taking out the nuclear capability, taking out the ballistic missile capability, and also Khamenei gone, this is applauded by many of my colleagues in Nato.”
Rutte underlined that the Nato military alliance — founded to protect Europe and North America — was “not involved” in the military operations.
“But I can assure you that Nato will defend every inch of Nato territory,” he said.
Israel calls on countries to cut ties with Iran during meeting with 60 envoys
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has urged countries to cut their ties with Iran during a virtual meeting with around 60 envoys stationed in Israel, as it pressed its military campaign against the Islamic republic.
“The foreign minister told the ambassadors that following the Iranian regime’s attacks on all its neighbours and the massacre of its own people, countries around the world must cut off their relations with it,” a statement issued by Saar’s office said.
It did not specify whether the 60 envoys’ countries had ties with Iran in the first place. — Agencies
