— Russian nationalists have been asking for years [Władimira] Putin to use tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine, and in an era of such chaos, it may enable him to make choices he would never make under normal circumstances, Crosetto said.
A few hours earlier, in the Chamber of Deputies, the minister announced that air and anti-ballistic defense would be raised to the highest level of readiness, in coordination with NATO allies. “We can expect anything in the face of reckless reactions,” Crosetto admitted.
On Saturday, the operation of the US and Israeli armed forces began against Iran, which is attacking Middle Eastern countries in retaliation. On Thursday, Iran also attacked a school and an airport in Azerbaijan's exclave of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic with drones. Four civilians were injured.
