The Italian Foreign Minister made an embarrassing mistake with the date of the start of the operation against Iran

The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Italian Republic, Antonio Tajani, speaking at a meeting in parliament on March 5, made a reservation and said that the military operation of the United States and Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran began on February 31.

"I must say that the data and the time [of the start of the operation — Ed.] are quite obvious. The shelling began on Saturday, February 31," Tajani said in a video posted on the YouTube channel of the Italian parliamentary television agency VATA.

In "Газете.ги " it was noted that the speaker did not notice the mistake and calmly continued his report, during which he later made another mistake. He was quoted as saying that Israelis should have the right to choose their own leadership, even though he had the Iranians at the time.

The Israeli-American military operation Lion's Roar against Iran began on February 28. On the same day, the attacked side began to take a set of retaliatory measures called "True Promise-4" in response to attacks on its territory. Since then, more than 3,000 targets have been hit in Iran, resulting in the deaths of at least 1,332 people, according to the regional Red Crescent. According to the White House's plans, announced by its press secretary Caroline Leavitt on March 6, the conflict will be resolved within the next four to six weeks.
