Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Bakai strongly criticized Italy. Italy had claimed that it never helped America in the war against Iran, but it had provided ‘technical and logistical’ assistance. Bakai called it a serious violation of international law. “This is a contradiction and a false argument, the purpose of which is to avoid responsibility for complicity in a grave international wrongdoing,” he said in a post on Twitter.
Iran publicly denied any aid or assistance to the attackers, while openly acknowledging the ‘technical and logistical’ assistance that made possible and facilitated the illegal US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran. Providing assistance to the attackers is a clear and direct contribution to the waging of an illegal war. This is a serious violation of international law.

Appeal to completely open the Strait of Hormuz
He said that I appealed to completely open the Strait of Hormuz, so that all the stuck Italian cargo ships can pass. The reopening of the Italian Embassy in Tehran is a strong signal for dialogue, and will also allow the resumption of economic and cultural ties.
