NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Friday called for de-escalation in the Middle East after Israel launched airstrikes on Iran.
Rutte, during a joint press conference in Stockholm with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, said, “It think it is now crucial for many allies, including the United States, to work, as we speak, to de-escalate. I know that they are doing that and I think that is now the first order of the day.”
