Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte has stated that the United States must take on Iran, describing it as "absolutely essential" in an interview at the Euronews Defence and Space summit. According to Rutte, only the US has the capability to neutralize Iran's nuclear programme, which he considers a potential near-term threat not only for Israel and the Middle East but also for Europe.
While acknowledging the downsides of a potential war with Iran, Rutte emphasized that increased defense investments would allow European countries to manage their own security concerns, such as the situation with the Houthis and the Red Sea.
