STORYLINE:
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani arrived at the port of the Italian resort island of Capri on Wednesday, as Group of Seven foreign ministers are meeting with an agenda topped by calls for targeted new sanctions against Iran over its attack against Israel and more aid to Ukraine to fight Russia’s war.
Under Italy’s rotating stewardship, the G7 leaders are expected to issue a united call for Israel to exercise restraint after Iran’s unprecedented weekend attack involving hundreds of drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles fired toward the Jewish state.
Tajani told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Italy supported targeted new sanctions against Tehran, specifically against the makers of drones used in the weekend attack and others launched by Tehran-backed militias in Lebanon, Gaza and Yemen.
“So for example, people sending drones to Houthi? Sanctions,” Tajani said, adding that other European Union foreign ministers were in agreement on the strategy and that he expected the G7 ministers to also discuss possible new sanctions this week in Capri.
