Rome, 11 May (LaPresse)- ‘Once a ceasefire is in place, someone will have to clear the Strait of Hormuz of mines as part of a coalition of countries and ensure the safe passage of ships. If Parliament decides to do so, we are ready,’ said Defence Minister Guido Crosetto on the sidelines of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly’s Special Group on the Mediterranean and the Middle East seminar at Montecitorio. ‘With the UN? As you know, the problem with the UN is that a single country’s veto in the Security Council is enough to block everything. If Russia decides to block the initiative, it will block it. At that point, the thirty or forty countries involved will reach an agreement and proceed without the UN.’
