This morning, I had a telephone conversation with the Iranian Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi.
I encouraged him to work quickly toward a constructive solution to the crisis in Iran and to relaunch positive relations with the neighboring Gulf countries.
It is essential to reach an agreement swiftly on a ceasefire that ensures the safe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and confirms the exclusively civilian nature of the Iranian nuclear program.
I also highlighted the priority of achieving a lasting ceasefire in Lebanon, encouraging all parties to commit concretely to a stable and shared peace.
Italy is ready to contribute actively to supporting dialogue and strengthening stability in Lebanon and throughout the region.
