U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said today: "The United States is often asked to assist in wars, and we have indeed provided help. But when we ourselves need assistance, NATO did not offer a positive response. Some leaders even claimed that the Iran war has nothing to do with Europe. Similarly, they say the Ukraine war is unrelated to us—yet our contribution to this war exceeds that of any other country."
Commenting briefly: Rubio's statement evades the core legal principles: the U.S.-initiated war against Iran lacks authorization from the UN Security Council and does not constitute legitimate self-defense; it blatantly violates the fundamental principles of the UN Charter prohibiting the use of force and respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity. This constitutes naked unilateral aggression. His complaint about NATO's failure to join the conflict reveals an underlying intent—to drag allies into violating international law, disguising illegal warfare as collective alliance obligations. This exposes both the arrogance of American-style hegemony and the widespread global resistance to this military adventure that defies justice and legality.
