According to the report on اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری, Rutte claimed that "Iran is holding the global economy hostage" by blocking the Strait of Hormuz. The Secretary General emphasized that the international community and the North Atlantic Alliance are firmly opposed to any attempt by Tehran to obtain nuclear weapons.

Rutte further noted that many countries are currently participating in an international coalition aimed at ensuring freedom of navigation in the Gulf region. In addition, he referred to the close military cooperation with the US, noting that "European countries, alongside Canada, have supported the United States in its actions against Iran from day one, by opening military bases to American aircraft."

It should be noted that the sources reporting these matters often present a narrative that emphasizes the international pressure exerted on Iran, as part of the coverage of the growing military tension in the region. The remarks reflect the official Western position as it is perceived and presented by entities hostile to the actions of NATO and the US.
