JAKARTA - NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte supports the latest attack by the United States (US) on Iran. Rutte said the US military action was "absolutely necessary."
"When there is a ceasefire agreement and Iran basically violates the ceasefire - we have seen what happened yesterday with the attacks on the ships - I think it is very important for the US to react firmly," Rutte said, quoted by CNN, Wednesday, July 8.
Rutte said Iran's nuclear program will be on the agenda of today's NATO summit.
"I hope that allied countries today will reaffirm that Iran must not have nuclear capabilities at all," said Rutte.
Freedom of navigation will also be discussed because "the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is crucial for the 32 allied countries," he added.
The latest information, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims to have launched missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) towards 85 US military locations in Bahrain and Kuwait in response to the latest wave of US attacks on Iran.
Through a post on Telegram quoted by CNN, Wednesday, July 8, the IRGC said that its naval and air forces' joint operation targeted US military facilities in the Port of Salman, Bahrain - where the US Fifth Fleet operates - as well as the Ali Al Salem air base in Kuwait.
The US military previously said it had hit more than 80 military targets in Iran on Tuesday, following Iran's attack on a number of ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
