Italy calls for increased naval presence
Italy emphasized the need to strengthen its naval presence in the Red Sea to protect maritime traffic, especially through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, which is one of the world's most important waterways and accounts for about 7% of global oil production. The Italian Defense Minister called for increasing the number of ships involved in the European "Aspide" mission. The Rome government took direct measures without waiting for a response from the European Union, amid rising risks related to the war in the Middle East and disturbances in the Strait of Hormuz, where 40% of Italy's trade passes through the Suez Canal. Securing this area is crucial to protecting Italy's economic interests, especially as oil movements decline and regional tensions escalate.
