The new attacks by the US on Iran were “absolutely necessary”, Reuters reports, citing Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte.

“When you have a ceasefire and Iran is basically violating the ceasefire, I think it is totally crucial that the US forcefully react,” Rutte told reporters before a summit of Nato leaders in Ankara.
