NATO chief should answer for growing global insecurity: Iran
Iran has criticized the new secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) for “weirdly” setting the agenda for the incoming US administration, advising him instead to answer for increasing global insecurity due to policies of certain member states of the Western military alliance.
“The new secretary general of #NATO, who claims to have a way with US president-elect, insists weirdly in setting the agenda for the upcoming US administration,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said in a post on his X account on Thursday.
He said the new NATO chief’s prescription is based on only inciting more "militancy" by framing a “polarized” picture of world politics which is “far from benign & responsible.”

Mr. Secretary General’s prescription is nothing but incitement to further militancy by framing a polarized picture…
The Iranian spokesperson emphasized that “egocentric and totalitarianist policies” of certain NATO members have led to the growing insecurity that has plagued the world, including Europe.
The NATO secretary general “should feel accountable to answer” the mounting insecurity across the world, Baghaei said.
His post came after NATO’s new Secretary General Mark Rutte in an interview with the Financial Times warned US President-elect Donald Trump about what he claimed to be a "dire threat" from China, Iran and North Korea if Ukraine is pushed to sign a peace agreement on terms favorable to Russia.
Rutte also claimed that Russia is giving money to Iran in return for missiles and drone technology and cautioned Trump about it.
"And the money is being used to prop up Hezbollah and Hamas, but also steering conflict beyond the region," he claimed.
