Rubio: US Must 'Re-Examine the Value of NATO' After Allied Iran Refusal

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters the United States may need to 'reexamine the value of NATO and that alliance for our country' following European allies' refusal to join the Iran war coalition or assist with Strait of Hormuz operations. Rubio described allied responses as 'very disappointing' and warned that after the Iran conflict concluded, a comprehensive reassessment of the transatlantic relationship would be required. Bloomberg headlined: 'US May Reexamine NATO's Merit After Iran War Snub, Rubio Says.' The statement amplified Trump's Miami forum broadside of March 27 and represented the first formal cabinet-level condemnation of allied Iran-war refusals.
