Reference News Network, March 17 report: According to the U.S. Military Information Network on March 16, Italy has announced that it will not participate in the current war between the United States, Israel, and Iran. At the same time, as the situation escalates, Italy has begun to withdraw some military personnel from its bases in the Middle East.
According to the report, Italian Prime Minister Meloni told parliamentarians that Italy "will not participate" in the military strikes by the U.S. and Israel against Iran, and that it "has no intention of getting involved" in this war. She called this conflict one of the most serious international crises in recent decades and warned that the escalation of the conflict reflects the expanding scope of the collapse of the international rule of law order.
Meloni's statement is one of the clearest declarations by a major European country to distance itself from this military action.
Although Meloni refused to join the military operation, she said that Italy will still maintain diplomatic communication with its European allies and coordinate with leaders of various countries to closely monitor the situation and promote de-escalation of the conflict. (Translated by Guo Jun)
