(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 26 - No problems have been reported with Italians in Iran after Israel's strikes on military targets in the Asian country Saturday in retaliation for Tehran's October 1 ballistics missile attack on Israel, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Saturday.
    "We have no news in any way of involvement of our countrymen in the Israeli attacks in Iran, I spoke this morning with our ambassador in Tehran, our citizens are all safe and there are no victims," said Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Tajani to Rainews24.
    Tajani said he was "convinced that there will be no reactions from the Iranian side".
    The risk "of an escalation "is always there but I believe it is a risk that can be averted with the work of diplomacy and the commitment of everyone".
    And Defence Minister Guido Crosetto also said he did not think that Iran will react.
    "Military targets were hit, the attack was expected', he said.
