NATO is not participating in the military operations in the Middle East, announced the chair of the NATO Military Committee, Italian Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone.

Also, he found it difficult to estimate how long the conflict will last.

"Let's see how the US and Israel will evaluate the results achieved on the battlefield. NATO is not participating in military operations, and we do not have such an in-depth analysis of the specific situation as they do," Dragone said in an interview with the Italian daily la Repubblica.

According to the chair of the NATO Military Committee, ensuring security in the Strait of Hormuz remains an extremely difficult, but also feasible task.
