NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Wednesday defended thelatest US strikes on Iran as "very necessary," stressing that theStrait of Hormuz, a key route for global energy shipments, must remain fullyopen.
Speaking at the NATO summit in Ankara, Rutte accused Tehranof violating the recently signed US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding and backedWashington’s position on Iran’s nuclear file, reiterating that Tehran"should never get its hands on a nuclear capability."
Addressing US concerns over the positions taken by someNATO allies, including the refusal of some countries to join the Iran war,Rutte noted that Washington’s disappointment was limited to "individualcases."
