NATO says it won't join US-Israel action against Iran after missile incident

NATO condemned Iran for firing a ballistic missile that flew over or near Turkey, a NATO member. The alliance's chief, Mark Rutte, said NATO is not involved in any military action the U.S. and Israel take against Iran and does not plan to invoke its mutual defense clause, Article 5, over the incident.

In response, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio suggested the U.S. might reconsider the value of NATO, arguing the alliance did not support American actions against Iran. Rutte, however, reaffirmed that NATO allies would continue their existing support for Ukraine.
