On 7 April 2026, the Italian Government issued a statement from Palazzo Chigi expressing close monitoring of developments in the Middle East crisis and the risk of further military escalation that could involve all of Iran’s territory, affecting strategic, military and civilian targets. The government condemned the Tehran regime’s destabilising conduct, citing missile attacks that threaten Gulf security, intimidation that jeopardises freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, and systematic repression of its own people. It stressed the need to distinguish the regime’s responsibility from the fate of ordinary citizens, stating that the Iranian civilian population must not bear the cost of the regime’s actions. Italy echoes the European Union’s position on protecting civilian infrastructure and the safety of Iranians, and urges a negotiated resolution soon.
