Statement by President Meloni on the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran
Overnight, alongside France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, we expressed our strong appreciation for the memorandum of understanding signed between the United States and Iran a few hours ago. Our sincere thanks go to all the mediators, in particular Qatar and Pakistan, who made this agreement possible. This opportunity for peace must be seized: as in the past, Italy is ready to support the diplomatic process towards a comprehensive agreement. The principles are clear: Iran cannot acquire a nuclear weapon and freedom of navigation must be guaranteed. We stand ready, together with our partners and without prejudice to the necessary authorisation from Parliament, to contribute to an international naval presence to support the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Lastly, hostilities must also cease in Lebanon, where Italy will continue working to support Lebanese sovereignty.
