Italy's Defence Minister Warns of Nuclear Madness Amid Iran Conflict

Italy's Defence Minister Guido Crosetto has issued a stark warning on the escalating nuclear threats arising from the conflict with Iran, casting doubt on the United States' global leadership under President Donald Trump.

In a move aligned with other NATO allies hesitant to support America's aggressive stance, Italy refused last week to permit U.S. military aircraft to land in Sicily en route to the Middle East.

Crosetto, expressing concern over potential nuclear escalation, noted that events reminiscent of Hiroshima and Nagasaki could unfold. He prompted a call for braver advisory voices around Trump and urged diplomatic avenues to steer clear of further conflict.
