Italy denies authorising use of airbases for US attacks on Iran

Italy's Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has firmly denied claims that Italy authorized the use of its airbases for potential US military actions against Iran. In a direct phone call with Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Tajani reiterated Italy's neutrality and commitment to international treaties. This denial is significant amid rising tensions in the Middle East and highlights Italy's stance of strict adherence to diplomatic and military non-involvement in regional conflicts. The move underscores Italy's diplomatic efforts to maintain peace and avoid entanglement in international military disputes.
