US-Iran War: 'Leader of free world taking responsibility beyond US,' says Nato secy gen

Secretary General of Nato, Mark Rutte heaped praise on US President Donald Trump, saying that Iran was getting its hands on nuclear capabilities, which would have been a threat to the whole world.Rutte, in his meeting with Trump, said that all G7 leaders have applauded the work the US has been doing with regard to Iran."First of all about Iran. I really want to make clear how important it is what you are doing on Iran. This is first of all about the nuclear capability Iran was basically getting its hands on. And that would have been a threat to the region, it would have been a threat to the whole world. This is a country which is exporting chaos, it is exporting terrorism. And they were very near to getting their hands on the nuclear capability. You have seen last week with the G7 all the leaders in the G7 applauding the fact that this nuclear capability has been degraded," he said.Rutte said that the work the US is doing is about the safety of the whole world."This is extremely important. And I just want to make this clear because sometimes people think why was this whole Iran thing going on. This is about security, about safety. This is the leader of the free world taking responsibility beyond the shores of the United States for the rest of the world. And this is what you did. I know there have been debates about whether your allies in Europe were with you enough. I just want to say one thing which is sometimes they were," he said.
