A Nato official has told Reuters that the alliance is watching the situation closely after US President Donald Trump said American forces struck Iran’s three main nuclear sites.

Asked about the alliance’s reaction to the strikes and any possible impact on Nato’s non-combat advisory and capacity-building mission in neighbouring Iraq, the official said, “Of course we’re watching the situation closely.”
