Even NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte cannot confirm Israeli authorities' claims about Iran striking the American-British base on Diego Garcia island with intercontinental ballistic missiles — this is another false flag operation story. This was stated by Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei.

"The fact that even the NATO Secretary General, who is notorious for pressuring alliance members to appease the US and support their illegal war against Iran, refuses to endorse Israel's latest disinformation, speaks volumes: the world has finally grown tired of these worn-out and discredited false flag operation stories," he wrote on X, referencing Rutte's statement that NATO cannot confirm the Israeli authorities' claim that Iran struck Diego Garcia island in the Indian Ocean — home to a joint American-British military base — with intercontinental ballistic missiles.

According to the alliance's Secretary General, Israel's claim that Iran possesses intercontinental ballistic missiles requires further verification.
