Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ismail Baghai reacted to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's support for the US-Israeli operations against Iran. Baghai stated that Rutte's words clearly show that Europeans are not neutral in this conflict.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, in a statement on Wednesday, described the new US attacks on Iran as 'absolutely necessary' and accused Tehran of violating the ceasefire.
The Iranian spokesperson, in a post on social media platform X, said: 'Mark Rutte's repeated confessions about Europe's voluntary complicity in the US-Israeli aggressive war against Iran once again confirm that they (Europeans) are not neutral in this brutal and illegal attack.'
On Wednesday night, the US military launched a series of intense attacks against Iran. US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that American forces struck approximately 90 targets in Iran.
In response, the Iranian military retaliated against US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reported that it attacked two US bases in Kuwait and two in Bahrain. Iranian officials accused Washington of violating the memorandum to halt military operations.
