The Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, declared on Monday, in an interview given to BBC News, that Europe “fully supports” the actions of the US in Iran.
The statements come against the backdrop of intensifying conflict in the Middle East, following the attacks launched by the United States and Israel on targets in Iran, at the end of last week.
Iran, a “threat” to the region and Europe
Rutte emphasized that Tehran represents a “threat” not only to Israel, but also to Europe and the entire region. In this context, he pointed out that European states are “intensifying their efforts” in response to recent developments.

However, he mentioned that he had “many conversations” with American officials and emphasized that Washington and NATO “closely coordinate” their actions.
