Italy is “not at war” in the Red Sea, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said, urging the EU to strengthen its naval mission protecting merchant shipping in the strategic waterway.
– “No, we are not at war,” Tajani told Italian daily Corriere della Sera when asked about a recent attack involving an Italian fighter jet and Houthi statements that they were not at war with Italy.
– Tajani’s comments follow a Houthi strike on the Taif airbase in Saudi Arabia, which reportedly damaged an Italian F-2000 (Eurofighter) aircraft on the ground.
