The Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, had a telephone conversation with the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron. This was reported in a note from Palazzo Chigi, explaining that “the two leaders discussed the implications of the conflict in Iran both on the Middle Eastern regional framework and on a global level, focusing in particular on the impact of hostilities on freedom of navigation”. Furthermore, Meloni and Macron “reaffirmed their common commitment to support the Gulf Nations affected by the unjustifiable Iranian attacks and the security of Cyprus and to avoid a military escalation in Lebanon”. And “they agreed to keep in close contact on the evolution of the crisis”.
