- Iran's Foreign Ministry summoned the Italian ambassador over the detention of an Iranian national wanted by the United States for his alleged role in a deadly drone strike against U.S. Forces, Iranian state media reported.
- The summons followed Italy's move regarding the arrest of Italian reporter Cecilia Sala, who was seized in Tehran on December 19 while working under a journalist visa.
- Abedini, an Iranian businessman, was arrested at Milan's Malpensa Airport on a U.S. Warrant for allegedly supplying drone parts used in a 2023 attack that killed three U.S. Service members in Jordan.
- Iran's Foreign Ministry urged Italy to reject America's hostage policy and called for Abedini's release to prevent damage to bilateral ties, according to state media.
