Military tensions between Iran and the United States have reached a new level. According to reports, Iranian sources announced attacks on American 'tankers', which is seen as a reaction to ongoing US airstrikes against targets in Iran. The US government under President 'Donald Trump', meanwhile, praised the work of its own troops and rejected reports that 'Milizen' were systematically being armed to fight against Tehran. Drone attacks on US bases in 'Irak' were also recorded in the region.
Internationally, the situation is causing great concern. The Italian government consulted in a parliamentary hearing with Foreign Minister 'Antonio Tajani' and Defence Minister 'Guido Crosetto' about possible support services for allies and the use of military bases. Meanwhile, traditional partners of Iran, such as Russia and China, are noticeably reserved. Observers interpret this as an attempt to avoid direct involvement in a large-scale conflict. Amid the turmoil of war, individual fates, like that of Taekwondo fighter 'Kimia Alizadeh', who has positioned herself against the Iranian system, are also coming into focus.
