In 2005, Italy was the third largest trading partner of Iran with 7.5% of all exports to Iran. Italy is the Largest trading partner of Iran in the European Union in 2017. Iran right now wants an IMF lifeline.

Italy has been on the receiving end of a lot of Chinese investment as well. All bullscat from the resistance to Trump through to this effort to generate hysteria to thwart the healing properties of capitalism leads to Iran... follow the money. The global Iran lobby argument for not renewing or escalating sanctions on Iran relies on "humanitarian" hysteria over the virus .
