Italy urges push for peace talks, reopening of Hormuz Strait

ROME: Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Tuesday said it was important to press on with peace negotiations to end the war between the United States and Iran, also looking to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

“It is necessary to continue working in order to advance peace negotiations, making every possible effort to stabilise the situation and reopen the (Hormuz) Strait, which is fundamental for us, not only for fuel supplies but also for fertilisers,” Meloni told reporters in the northern Italian city of Verona.
