NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte (likely Jens Stoltenberg) said on Wednesday that the recent US attacks on Iran were fully justified, citing Iran’s breach of a ceasefire as the trigger. He stated that when a ceasefire is in place and Iran violates it, a decisive US response is entirely necessary. He also reaffirmed the US commitment to NATO but urged European allies and Canada to raise their defense spending to match US levels. These remarks come as the US has begun a new wave of attacks on Iran and revoked its oil‑sale license. Iran has denied the allegations of violating the ceasefire.
