Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Wednesday joined European leaders in criticizing U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, describing the military campaign as outside international law while acknowledging Tehran's regional threat. Her shift marks a notable change for a traditionally pro-U.S. leader and reflects domestic pressure in Italy, where airstrikes remain deeply unpopular and coincide with a politically sensitive judicial reform referendum.
