Iran slams NATO chief's comments on US support in war

TEHRAN, Jun 25: Tehran accused NATO on Thursday of "complicity" in the US-Israeli war against Iran, after the bloc's chief noted its support for the United States in the conflict.

Responding to US President Donald Trump's criticism of allies for not supporting the war, NATO boss Mark Rutte told Fox News that hundreds of American planes launched from bases in Italy.

Trump's second term has been marked by tensions with NATO allies, who have voiced skepticism over the need for the conflict in the Middle East.

"Country after country, ally after ally after ally, have made their bases available for Epic Fury," Rutte told US TV channel Fox News, referring to the US military operation in Iran.�" AFP
