ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “A European fleet would be perceived as a NATO fleet so as a fleet that enters war alongside the United States and Israel. On the contrary, the UN flag should be raised. A fleet that brings together Europe, China, Asia, India and all the countries of the world.” These are the words of Guido Crosetto, Minister of Defense, at Agorà Rai Tre.
“The relations with the United States cannot be questioned by a government: how Europe cannot guarantee security and defence without NATO,” he added. “In these days, while Iran attacked the American bases, we put the problem on possible attacks on the bases in Italy – adds Crosetto – The first response of tranquility was the presence of NATO defense to prevent the ballistic missiles coming here: the attacks to Italy would first be intercepted by radar in Turkey, then in Greece, then on American ships in the Mediterranean. The pillar of NATO is the United States and we must always maintain a relationship with them, but this does not mean to support them when we see that what they do is not the right choice or goes out of international law: Hormuz serves our help to get the United States out of a situation they had not calculated, but this must be done by an international body.”.
“Attacks directed to Italy by Iran or its proxies, such as Hezbollah, are not currently considered likely. The main risk is terrorism. Hundreds of Iranian dormant cells exist in the world: apparently normal individuals, but can be activated at any time to carry out attacks, even suicides. These networks have been present for years and spread globally. This is the main internal threat to countries not directly involved in the conflict,” said the Minister, host of RTL 102.5 in Non Stop News.
