Iranian FM: 'Telephone conversation between the Iranian and Italian Foreign Ministers. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani spoke by phone with our Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi this Thursday evening. In this phone conversation, the Italian Foreign Minister categorically rejected the recent statements of the NATO Secretary General about the use of Italian military bases by the United States in military operations against Iran. Tajani also emphasized that no use of this country's military bases has been made to attack Iran and such an action will not be taken in the future, and clarified that American planes have not taken off from Italian soil to bomb Iran and the Italian government has never issued a permit to carry out such an operation. Our Foreign Minister, while appreciating the phone call and clarification made by his Italian counterpart, emphasized the need for a clear and official denial of these statements by the Italian government.'
