Tensions are running high between Rome and Tehran in the wake of Rutte’s comments about ‘500 US aircraft taking off from Italian bases bound for Iran’. The Iranian Foreign Ministry accuses Italy, along with Romania, of being ‘complicit’ in Trump’s war. Tajani calls Araghchi: “Italia has never taken part in any military initiative and has never authorised the use of its bases for acts of war against Iran,” the Foreign Minister assures. In Rome, irritation towards the NATO Secretary-General shows no sign of abating. According to Crosetto, “his inappropriate and unnecessary remarks risk having serious consequences”. Meanwhile, Oman reassures: “There will be no tolls in Hormuz”

Iran has no intention of allowing the International Atomic Energy Agency to inspect its sites bombed by Israel and the United States, says Foreign Minister Araghchi. “We have not had any meeting with the Director General of the IAEA and do not expect the agency to inspect Iran’s damaged nuclear facilities,” adds spokesperson Baghaei. Overnight, Tehran’s chief negotiator Ghalibaf had made it clear that “the Strait of Hormuz will be managed by Iran, in accordance with international rules”. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu thundered: “It’s not over with Iran.”
