Italy in the Hormuz crisis: diplomacy, naval missions and food security

Italy is working with European partners, the G7, and multilateral organizations to secure the stability of the Strait of Hormuz and restore stability in the Middle East due to the conflict between Iran and the United States. Concerns are being raised about the impact of the Strait of Hormuz on global trade, energy security, and food security, particularly for vulnerable countries in Africa and the Mediterranean. Italy has launched the ‘Rome Coalition’ to address food security issues.
