Italy denies authorizing the use of its airbases for US attacks on Iran. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani confirmed this in a phone call with Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi, while NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's earlier remarks sparked political debate in Italy. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Defence Minister Guido Crosetto reiterated that the bases are used for technical and logistical activities, not military action against Iran.
