The crisis in the Middle East is intensifying, with the Farnesina at the forefront of monitoring developments.

At the Farnesina, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani meets with the ministry's leaders and the ambassadors of Iran, Israel, and other countries in the region. The situation is critical. Tajani communicates on X that he is at the Crisis Unit, following events in real time. He has contacted the ambassador in Tehran, Paola Amadei, to get direct updates.

Non-essential travel to these areas is discouraged and Italians registered in Iran have been warned.

The situation on the field

“No problem for our compatriots, neither in Iran nor in Israel,” Tajani reassures, but the tension is palpable. Explosions near the residence of our ambassador in Iran are shaking hearts. “The situation is very tense,” he says in a link with TG5. His voice is firm, the details are disturbing. What will happen in the coming days?

The Italian position

The Farnesina is counting on dialogue. “We hope for a resumption of confrontation between Israel and Iran,” Tajani continues. It is clear that the diplomatic path is the only one possible, but questions remain. When will the fighting stop? Actions and reactions could lead to a dangerous escalation.

Ceasefire calls

“I don’t think the Israeli attacks are over,” he warns. Tajani spoke with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, expressing the need to avoid further escalation. “We ask Israel, having effectively won the war with Hamas, to spare the civilian population.” His words weigh like boulders in such a tense context.

The role of President Meloni

Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister, is following the crisis with great attention. She has called a video conference meeting with the ministers involved and the heads of national intelligence. Her concerns are based on a complex scenario. “It didn’t surprise us, we expected it,” comments the Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto. However, it is clear that a new front has opened.

Uncertain conclusions

Tensions remain high. The Farnesina continues to monitor the situation closely, while the Italian people are wondering what will happen next. Tajani and Meloni's words could be just the beginning of a long diplomatic journey. The crisis in the Middle East is far from being resolved and global concerns are growing.
