"Gulf countries caught up in the conflict between Iran, Israel and the United States have asked Italy for air defence systems", Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said.
Speaking before a parliamentary committee, Crosetto said that the country urgently wanted to boost their air defence capacities, including with Italy's SAMP/T system.
Crosetto made the comment after just having returned to Rome on Monday, having been stranded in Dubai since flights were suspended due to the Israel-US strikes on Iran.
