The European Union and the Italian government have initiated intensive protective measures in the face of escalating conflict in Iran. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni held a series of meetings with the heads of energy giants Eni and Snam, focusing on securing raw material supplies. Simultaneously, the European Central Bank warns of a return to high inflation, and diplomats in Brussels are sounding the alarm about the risk of mass migration from the Middle East region, which is destabilizing the continent's geopolitical situation.

The situation in Iran, marked by the collapse of the previous regime, has triggered an immediate response from the highest political and economic structures in Europe. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni convened emergency consultations involving the leadership of the firms Eni and Snam. These talks focused on monitoring critical infrastructure and implementing measures to mitigate potential raw material shortages. Although official government statements assure there is no immediate threat of gas supply disruptions, the Italian Ministry of Defense is analyzing the possibility of providing logistical support to Persian Gulf states, aimed at stabilizing the resource-rich region. Since the 1973 oil crisis, Europe has been striving to diversify its energy sources, yet the destabilization of the Middle East remains the single greatest risk factor for global fuel markets.At the same time, a feverish analysis of the conflict's side effects is underway at the EU level. Representatives of the European Commission point to the enormous risk of a new wave of migration that could hit member states in the event of a complete collapse of state structures in Iran. The European Central Bank has issued a warning that a prolonged war will lead to increased sea transport and energy costs, which in turn will necessitate maintaining high interest rates to combat resurgent inflation.
