Italy denied landing permission to US military planes
Reports indicate that Rome has prevented the US from using an airbase in Sicily for operations related to the Middle East
According to the newspaper Corriere della Sera, Italy did not allow US military planes headed to the Middle East to land at a base in Sicily
This report, which was later confirmed by other sources, shows that these planes were supposed to land at the Sigonella base, but the necessary permission was not granted
It is said that this decision was made due to the lack of prior authorization from the US government and the need to comply with legal and military agreements
Italian officials have emphasized that using this base for military missions requires prior coordination and approval, and each request is reviewed on a case-by-case basis
