Italian Defense Minister Giorgio Crosetto today spoke about the Iran conflict: "We do not support this war, and no one has consulted us. The duration of a war does not depend on the strength of the strongest, but on the resistance of the weakest. Iran is larger in area, has more people, and boasts thousands of years of history."
Commentary: It's clear and straightforward from Italy's defense minister—refusing to follow the U.S. into this messy Iranian quagmire, while also highlighting that war isn't won simply by having bigger fists. Iran has vast territory, a large population, and strong national cohesion; if conflict breaks out, it certainly won't surrender easily. Even the United States, despite its strength, could be dragged into a prolonged war, making a quick victory utterly unrealistic.
