NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte told Fox News that a nuclear-armed Iran would be devastating for the region and the entire world. He said President Trump is doing "exactly what needs to be done" and expressed full support for him.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warned in an interview with Fox News that an Iranian nuclear weapon would be catastrophic for the region and the world, according to a report by N12. Rutte said he believes President Donald Trump is handling the issue correctly and expressed full backing. The remarks come amid ongoing US-Iran negotiations after a framework deal was unveiled this week. As The Zioneer reported Wednesday, both Israeli officials and commentators have criticized the emerging agreement as weaker than the 2015 JCPOA. That previous context is background and not a new claim by the source.
