Italy advocates precision in Israeli response to Iran

Italy's foreign minister said on Thursday that Israel is likely to retaliate against Iran's missile and drone strike on 13 April.

He said he hoped that any retaliation would be precise and not lead to further escalation.

"Our appeal is always for prudence and de-escalation," Antonio Tajani told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting of Group of Seven (G7) foreign ministers."We hope that Israel's response, which will probably come, will be a targeted response and not something that provokes escalation."
