Rome, 13 March (LaPresse) – With regard to the Strait of Hormuz, "my position and that of the government is that this is not the time to send more warships into a war zone. If anything, we should remove some. Also because, for example, if a British or French frigate is hit, what do we do, do we all go to war?‘ This is what Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said in an interview with Il Messaggero. ’I have discussed this with my British, French, German and Polish colleagues, with a line that must be shared with the whole of Europe," he added. But 20% of world trade passes through Hormuz, involving countries such as China, India and Japan. Collective action is needed to ensure that the area is removed from the conflict, that it is “sterilised”. We are working on this to ensure that the war, with the resulting energy crisis, remains as far removed as possible from the real lives of people, families, businesses and factories."
