NATO chief's remarks on US strikes 'disgraceful and irresponsible', Iran foreign ministry says

Iran on Wednesday branded NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's gushing note to President Donald Trump on US strikes targeting key nuclear sites as "disgraceful, despicable and irresponsible".
On Tuesday, Rutte hailed in a pre-NATO summit note to Trump what he called his "decisive action" in Iran, days after the United States conducted unprecedented strikes on its nuclear facilities.
Rutte said the move "was truly extraordinary and something no one else dared to do. It makes us safer."
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei hit back, saying it was "disgraceful, despicable and irresponsible for #NATO's SG to congratulate a 'truly extraordinary' criminal act of aggression against a sovereign State."

Trump signals US may ease Iran oil sanction enforcement to help rebuild country
President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the US has not given up its maximum pressure on Iran — including restrictions on sales of Iranian oil — but signalled a potential easing in enforcement to help the country rebuild. 'They're going to need money to put that country back into shape. We want to see that happen,' Trump said at a news conference at the Nato Summit when asked if he was easing oil sanctions on Iran. Trump said a day earlier that China can continue to purchase Iranian oil after Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire, but the White House later clarified that his comments did not indicate a relaxation of US sanctions. Trump imposed waves of Iran-related sanctions on several of China's independent 'teapot' refineries and port terminal operators for purchases of Iranian oil. Steve Witkoff, Trump's Middle East envoy, told CNBC that Trump's comment on China's ability to buy Iranian oil 'was a signal to the Chinese that we want to work with you, that we're not interested in hurting your economy'. China is the top buyer of Iranian crude and has long opposed Trump's sanctions on the oil. 'We're interested in working together with you in unison, and hopefully that becomes a signal to the Iranians,' Witkoff said.

Lebanon's Hezbollah hails Iran's 'divine victory' over Israel
Supporters of Lebanon's Hezbollah wave flags during a rally outside the Iranian Embassy in Beirut on June 25. Image: Haitham Moussawi / AFP Lebanese militant group Hezbollah on Wednesday hailed what it called its ally Iran's victory over Israel after 12 days of war, declaring it the start of a "new historical phase". In a statement, Hezbollah offered its "most sincere congratulations" to the Islamic republic, praising its "glorious divine victory". The victory, it said, was "manifested in the precise and painful strikes it launched" against Israel, as well as "the lightning response to the American aggression against its nuclear facilities". On Sunday, the United States struck Iranian nuclear facilities following days of Israeli strikes, but a classified intelligence report concluded the attacks had only set back Tehran's nuclear programme by a few months. "This is nothing but the beginning of a new historical phase in confronting American hegemony and Zionist arrogance in the region," Hezbollah said. Hezbollah, which fought a devastating war against Israel last year, expressed its "firm and unwavering support for the Islamic republic, its leadership and people," emphasising that "any surrender, subservience or concession will only increase our enemies' arrogance and dominance over our region". Israel launched a major bombardment of Iranian nuclear and military facilities on June 13, as well as targeted attacks on top scientists and commanders. The Israeli strikes killed at least 627 civilians and wounded more than 4,800, according to the Iranian health ministry. Iran's retaliatory attacks on Israel have killed 28 people, according to Israeli figures. Later Wednesday, hundreds of people rallied outside the Iranian embassy in Beirut, responding to a call from Hezbollah to celebrate "the culmination of the struggle and sacrifices" of the Iranian people "who triumphed over the Israeli-American aggression". Ahmed Mohebbi, 42, who was among the crowd, said: "We are very happy about this victory that Iran achieved, despite the hits it took and attacks by America and Israel to prevent it from continuing its nuclear programme. "Our steadfastness is a victory," he told AFP. The head of Hezbollah's parliamentary bloc Mohammed Raad said in a speech that Iran was "a regional deterrent force, like it or not." "It proved this with its steadfastness" and by standing up against "a tyrannical enemy who sought to impose its hegemony on the whole region," he said. Iran has backed Hezbollah since the group's founding in the 1980s, providing it with financial and military support. The group was severely weakened in its latest confrontation with Israel, which killed most of its top leadership and destroyed much of its arsenal. AFP

Not the Iran we thought it was — what has changed in the Persian Gulf?
On paper, it looked like a mismatch. Iran is not only one of the oldest and most established countries in the Persian Gulf but also at least 75 times the size of Israel, with a population nine to 10 times larger. Size for size, it's a modern-day David and Goliath match-up, with ancient history squarely on Iran's side. At the height of its reign, especially under Cyrus the Great (559-530 BC), the Persian Empire, modern-day Iran, extended as far as Egypt, and its military might was unassailable. In more contemporary times, Iran defended itself against the aggression of Saddam Hussein during the eight-year Iran-Iraq War. Sudden tide Yet, since 12 June 2025, when Israel struck Iran's nuclear site and killed at least 14 atomic scientists and 16 top military officers, Iran's response has been something of a damp squib. A leaked intelligence report by the White House suggests that, but for US President Donald Trump's intervention, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, might have been killed in the recent Israeli strikes. In response, a barrage of Iranian missiles was fired on Tel Aviv and Haifa, with civilian casualties. Perhaps this has been the most significant dent in Israel's defence system in the last five decades. However, the response has been far below the notion of Iran as a nation of warriors and the potential nemesis of its precocious neighbour, especially after the fall of Syria's Hafez al-Assad. Things got so bad for Tehran that, at one point, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu even claimed that Israel was 'in full control of the Iranian skies', which Tehran could not deny. What happened? How did mighty Iran lose its military footing so calamitously? The weakening of Iran's military strength is not as sudden as it appears. It is the result of years of isolation and economic sanctions, driven mainly by three suspicions: One, that the Shia variety of Islam (and its allied franchises) subscribed to by Iran's ruling elite is the mainstay of radical and extremist terror groups; two, that it is the main sponsor of at least two radical Islamic groups and arch-enemies of Israel — Hamas (in Gaza) and Hezbollah (in Lebanon); and three, that its nuclear enrichment programme is not for peace, but for war. All three points are interlinked, and by 2015, the lack of progress on the third one saw the imposition of economic sanctions by the US, Britain and France, among others, targeting and undermining Iran's receipts from oil sales and weakening its economy. But Iran remained a major military force despite the sanctions. It cultivated closer ties with China and Russia, made desperate attempts to diversify its economy and used fronts to sell its oil. Burden of history All this time, Netanyahu wanted to strike. He pressured the US to tighten the screws on Tehran and maybe back a pre-emptive Israeli strike, but his repeated claim that Iran was only 'months … or even weeks' from the final stages of getting the bomb, was met with scepticism, if not indifference, by the Democratic White House. After the debacle in Iraq, where the US lost more than 900 troops and spent over $2-trillion based on faulty intelligence that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, no Democratic president, whether Barack Obama or Joe Biden, had the appetite for another full-scale war in the Persian Gulf without a convincing reason. Then, two events altered the dynamics of power and politics in the Persian Gulf. Hamas, long regarded as Iran's proxy, attacked Israel on 7 October 2023, killing about 1,200 people and abducting more than 250. This act of terror not only transformed moderate elements in Israeli politics, it also further hardened extremists like Netanyahu, who vowed to crush Hamas and Hezbollah and make Iran pay a heavy price. Trump factor When Trump was elected president, one year after the Israeli-Hamas war broke out, his brand of tweet-and-deal-making diplomacy, not to mention his close ties with Netanyahu, meant that Iran was on very thin ice. The stalemate in negotiations between Iran and the nuclear inspectors, including the expulsion of the veteran International Atomic Energy Agency officials, further raised suspicions about Iran's claims that its nuclear programme was for peaceful purposes. Yet some argued that Tehran's reluctance to cooperate and its rigmarole were merely bargaining chips to ease sanctions and repair its moribund economy, that it was still a long way from the bomb. Even though The Wall Street Journal reported recently that US intelligence still doubted Netanyahu's claims about Iran's nuclear enrichment, Tehran appears to have played all its cards, and the days of the old regime may be numbered. Pre-emptive or not? With Trump mulling direct US involvement in the war, I asked a source in the Israeli Foreign Ministry on Monday, 23 June whether the US bombing of Iran was a pre-emptive strike, a move that the Nigerian government had condemned in a statement. 'It is not a pre-emptive strike,' the source replied. 'It is a targeted military operation to remove a concrete threat after the pre-established period of negotiations has elapsed. The objectives have been set: the nuclear programme and the ballistic capabilities.' What has changed Here is how Israel systematically weakened and significantly degraded Iran's military capacity, especially in the last two years, forcing the mullahs in Tehran to shelter behind the veil in what may prove to be a decisive new phase in the war in one of the world's most troubled regions. One, Iran's regional allies — Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Al-Assad in Syria — have either been neutralised, rooted out or forced to flee. The pager attack by Israel on Hezbollah members and affiliates in Lebanon and Syria last September was particularly devastating. At least 42 people were killed and 3,500 injured when their booby-trapped pagers exploded, revealing a major breach in Hezbollah's security, causing panic in high places in Iran. Although the Houthis of Yemen have occasionally threatened security in the region, they have also been significantly contained or dispersed, making Iran even more isolated and vulnerable. Two, Israel has carried out precise strikes on Iran's military leadership, assassinating, among others, the chief of the general staff of Iran's armed forces, General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, who was only a heartbeat from Supreme Leader Khamenei. The country's air defence system has been degraded, and even though it has managed to fire hundreds of missiles toward Israel, their potency and impact have been largely limited. Third, the economic sanctions have limited Tehran's ability to modernise its military. At the same time, support from its main ally, Russia, has been curtailed by Russia's ongoing war with Ukraine, leaving Tehran largely on its own. Unlikely mediators It's an irony that, in its moment of travail, Iran is now looking to Qatar and Egypt, two countries that it has long despised, for mediation with Israel and the US. Netanyahu still has to answer for the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, and hopefully, that should keep him on a tight leash. After centuries of military, cultural and geopolitical conquests, is the sun finally about to set on the 'Gunpowder Empire?' Or is there still one magic spell left under the mullahs' turbans? DM
