Iran’s Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned NATO, accusing the alliance of complicity in what it terms an “illegal war of aggression” led by the United States and Israel. The condemnation follows remarks by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte acknowledging assistance provided by Italy and Romania to the US in operations against Iran. Iranian officials characterize this support as a “crushing confession” of involvement. Spokesperson Esmail Baghai specifically cited Rutte’s statements as evidence of NATO’s role. The accusations represent a significant escalation in rhetoric from Tehran. Iran maintains that US and Israeli actions constitute an unlawful attack. This statement signals potential diplomatic repercussions and further strains regional relations.
