Italy rejects Rutte claims of 'massive' support for war on Iran

Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has firmly denied claims by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte that Italy had given massive support to a potential US-Israeli war on Iran, specifically by allowing US aircraft to use Italian air bases. This rebuttal comes as Rutte attempted to counter President Donald Trump's assertions that several European Union allies had not backed the proposed military action. Meloni's rejection underscores the complex diplomatic dynamics within NATO and highlights the importance of accurate representation of member states' positions in international conflicts.
