Tehran slams NATO chief Rutte's praise for US attacks

Jun 26, 2025

Tehran [Iran], June 26: Iran has reacted with outrage to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's praise of US President Donald Trump for the attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.
"It is disgraceful, despicable and irresponsible for [NATO's secretary general] to congratulate a 'truly extraordinary' criminal act of aggression against a sovereign state," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei wrote on the X platform.
"[The one] who endorses an injustice lacks integrity. [The one] who supports a crime is regarded as complicit."
Trump published a screenshot of a personal message from Rutte before the start of the NATO summit in The Hague. In it, the NATO chief praised the US president for ordering the attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.
"Congratulations and thank you for your decisive action in Iran," Rutte wrote, "That was truly extraordinary, and something no one else dared to do. It makes us all safer."
