Italian Government Addresses Parliament on Iran Conflict and Economic Repercussions

Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto stated that Italy is not at war with Iran, criticizing US and Israeli actions. Prime Minister Meloni later scheduled an earlier parliamentary briefing on the situation, while the opposition criticized her handling of the crisis. The government also raised alarms about rising energy prices and potential speculation, with gasoline prices exceeding two euros in some areas, and warned of the economic impact of potential oil route blockades.
