Secretary-General Mark Rutte told Newsmax on Wednesday that President Donald Trump's
decision to take out Iran's nuclear program with precision airstrikes last week
sent a message to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi
Jinping.
A
squadron of U.S. B-2 Spirit bombers on Saturday night struck Iranian nuclear
facilities in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan to thwart the Islamic regime's
ambitions of obtaining a nuclear weapon. The strikes followed daily bombings by
Israel on Iranian nuclear and military facilities, and Trump announced a
ceasefire Monday to end the 12-day conflict.
"I think
what happened now in Iran is projecting American power on the
world stage, saying, here's a president who has the strength to do
what is necessary," Rutte said in an exclusive interview with Shelby
Wilder on "American
Agenda" after NATO's annual summit at The Hague.
"He's willing to use it, but in a very measured way.
"But
this is a signal. If I was in Beijing, Xi Jinping, or in Moscow,
Putin, I would be sitting there and seeing that footage. I would not
be happy. I would think, 'OK, they are really serious,
these Americans.' And this is exactly what we need. Projecting
American power on the world stage."
Rutte
said he isn't concerned that the situation with Iran could spiral out of
control and draw in more NATO members if Iran's nuclear program was not
destroyed, as some mainstream media reports have suggested. Trump, Defense
Secretary Pete Hegseth, and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt have
said Iran's nuclear facilities have been "obliterated," and Israel
said the Islamic regime's nuclear program has been set back "many
years."
"I'm
not afraid of that," Rutte said. "And I think what the president did
was very surgical. It was very targeted. It was saying after what Israel had
done, with Israel not being capable, able with their own military to really get
deep into the nuclear facilities. And I mean, the U.S. has, of course, the best
military in the world. You have the B-2s, you have these huge bombs which can
really penetrate deep into these caved-in locations in Iran.
"This
was a demonstration of, yes, strength, but also peace because it was targeted.
… And the president immediately followed it up with a call for a ceasefire. And
he was successful in getting the ceasefire done between Israel and Iran. So, I
think he did exactly what he needed to do. And I was very happy because the
nuclear capability for Iran is a threat to all of us."
