The NATO Secretary General's statements regarding the US using bases in Italy and Romania to attack Iran entail international responsibility for these countries, Kazem Gharibabadi wrote on X late Thursday. He cited UN General Assembly Resolution 3314, arguing that a state which permits its territory to be used by a third party to commit aggression against another state is itself guilty of an act of aggression. اظهارات دبیرکل ناتو درباره استفاده آمریکا از پایگاه های ایتالیا و رومانی در حمله به ایران، موجب مسئولیت بین‌المللی این کشورهاست. طبق قطعنامه ۳۳۱۴ مجمع عمومی، در اختیارگذاشتن سرزمین توسط یک دولت در جهت استفاده دولت ثالث برای انجام تجاوز علیه کشور دیگر، اقدام تجاوز محسوب می شود. — Gharibabadi (@Gharibabadi) June 25, 2026
