Italian Foreign Minister: I have spoken with the German Foreign Minister, and we hope to begin now to find a peaceful solution to the conflict with Iran. We are committed to preventing further consequences of war, which would impact the economies and businesses of both our countries, as well as the balance of the entire Middle East. Energy is of paramount importance. We are working to avoid an energy crisis so that the Strait of Hormuz can be reopened and oil and gas exporting countries can continue to export.
