Important Takeaways:
- It Is Time for NATO to Confront Iran
- For decades Tehran has consistently lied about the true extent of its nuclear ambitions, so it should come as no surprise that Iran’s instinctive response when confronted about its military support for Russia has been to issue a denial.
- Iran’s belated admission that it is actively supporting the Russian war effort is certainly an alarming development, one that completely destroys the argument that Iran’s malign activities are solely confined to the Middle East.
- NATO has already demonstrated a welcome display of unity in providing vital military support for Ukraine in its battle to defeat Russian aggression. NATO leaders must now take similar measures to support all those states, whether they are in Europe or the Middle East, who want to protect themselves against Iran’s intimidating conduct.

Despite high tensions between Russia and the West, NATO described the exercises as “routine” and “not linked to any current world events.”
