ROME, April 7 (Reuters) - The Iran war has put U.S. global leadership on the line, Italy's Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said, expressing fear about the "madness" of nuclear escalation.Like some other NATO allies reluctant to join U.S. President Donald Trump's attacks on Iran, Italy last week denied permission for U.S. military aircraft to land at the Sigonella air base in Sicily en route to the Middle East."This war is also putting the United States at risk in its global leadership," Crosetto told Italian daily Corriere della Sera in an interview published on Tuesday.
