Former NATO chief: Attack on Iran has no basis in international law
Jens Stoltenberg

Former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg reiterated calls for all parties involved in the war with Iran to show restraint and resume diplomatic dialogue, stressing that there is no legal basis for the United States and Israel's attack on Tehran, Anadolu reports.

"The attack on Iran has no basis in international law," Stoltenberg, who currently serves as Norway's finance minister, said in an interview with the Spanish newspaper El Pais.

The statements by Stoltenberg, who served as NATO secretary general from 2014 to 2024, came in response to a question about whether he supports Spain's decision to oppose the war and to stop the use of Spanish bases by the US military for further attacks in the Middle East.

The former NATO chief reiterated Norway's call for the parties to show restraint and resume diplomatic dialogue as soon as possible to find a solution to the conflict.

He also stressed that Norway has clearly condemned the Iranian regime's violence against its own people and shares concerns about Iran's nuclear program.

Asked if NATO is going through one of the most difficult moments since its creation in 1949, he said that there are significant challenges in transatlantic relations.

"But at the same time, it must be acknowledged that Europe is making an effort unprecedented in decades to guarantee its security," he stressed.

Stoltenberg added: "There have always been some differences between allies. I am confident that we will remain united to protect each other."

Regarding the impact of the war with Iran on the Norwegian economy and whether the country will benefit from rising oil prices as a major exporter, he expressed skepticism, emphasizing that it is not clear whether rising prices will favor Norway.

"Norway now has significant exposure to international financial markets through our sovereign wealth fund. The stock market decline is hurting us more than the rise in the price of crude oil is helping us," he added.

His statements come amid the broader regional escalation since the US and Israel launched joint attacks on Iran on February 28, killing around 1,300 people, including former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Iran has responded with missiles and drones targeting Israel and US assets and interests in Arab countries. Some of these attacks have caused casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure, prompting condemnation from the countries affected.
