Italy's prime minister says the country will not join attacks on Iran

Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni broke several days of silence on the conflict involving Iran, stating clearly that Italy is not at war and does not want to enter one. She chaired new meetings on the crisis and will report to parliament.

Meloni's position is that Italy will not join any U.S. or Israeli attacks on Iran. President Donald Trump praised Meloni, but headlines indicate he praised her willingness to help in a conflict, which contrasts with her stated position of non-participation.
