European nations have taken no concrete steps to strengthen shipping protection in the Red Sea, Italy's defence minister Guido Crosetto said on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, adding that governments have failed to respond to his calls to bolster the European Union's Aspides naval mission. In September, Crosetto urged the EU to bolster Aspides, launched in 2024 to protect commercial shipping from attacks by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis. 'I have yet to see anything concrete,' Crosetto told Reuters, although he said EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas had 'fully understood' the importance of Italy's request. After his appeal, Kallas wrote to the bloc's 27 member states urging them to increase their contributions, saying more than 10 warships would be needed for the mission to be truly effective; Italian daily Il Sole 24 Ore reported talks on boosting contributions have so far been inconclusive.
