Iran demands NATO accountability over alleged US base use

Iran's Foreign Ministry demands NATO accountability, citing Secretary General Mark Rutte's reported acknowledgment of US use of European bases in conflict with Iran, viewing it as an admission of complicity.

Iran's Foreign Ministry has called for NATO to be held accountable, citing remarks attributed to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Rutte reportedly acknowledged that the United States utilized certain military alliance bases in Europe during its conflict with Iran. Tehran's ministry interpreted these comments as an admission of NATO's complicity in the military campaign against Iran. Rutte's statements were reportedly made in response to criticism from former US President Donald Trump regarding NATO's perceived lack of cooperation in Washington's actions against Tehran.
