NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has warned that the US-Iran conflict could lead to a "North Korea moment" that could put other countries at a "big risk". This comes despite a strong relationship with President Trump, who has criticised NATO's membership. Rutte argued that NATO countries are committed to degrading Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile capacity. He also warned that continued negotiations with Iran could put the world at risk. Despite these statements, President Trump has threatened to withdraw from the alliance, which would require congressional approval.
