Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, in a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron, has rebuked a claim made yesterday by Nato chief Mark Rutte that Italy had aided US attacks against Iran, Al Jazeera reports.
Meloni says that Italy never participated in the Iran conflict, but only provided “technical and logistical” support to the US Army.
Yesterday, Rutte told Fox News that 500 US planes had taken off from US bases in Italy to “support” the US’s ‘Operation Epic Fury’, Washington’s name for its joint war with Israel on Iran.
