The Prime Minister said the US-Israeli attacks reveal a “clear crisis of international law”.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, a close ally of US President Donald Trump, has criticized the US-Israel war on Iran as part of a dangerous trend. “Outside International Law.” He condemned the deadly strike on an Iranian school widely blamed on the US.
Meloni made the remarks in a speech to the Italian Senate on Wednesday, keeping the strikes as he had called. “The Apparent Crisis of International Law and the Collapse of a Shared World Order.”
“In this context of a structural crisis in the international system … we must also put American and Israeli intervention against the Iranian regime” she told herself.
Maloney condemned what he called a “Massacre of Little Girls” They called for an investigation into a strike at a school in Minab, southern Iran, that killed at least 170 people, most of them children.
Although the Italian leader did not say who was responsible for the attack, many US media reported that the school was hit by a US Tomahawk missile. Trump has rejected this allegation and pointed out that it was Iran that bombed the school.
Meloni’s comments come as war on Iran remains unpopular with the Italian public, who fear being drawn into war. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister faces an upcoming high-profile referendum on judicial reform.
In addition, Italy was reportedly not among the US allies in Europe that were warned before the strikes were launched. Opposition leader Matteo Renzi used the situation to mock Meloni, dismissing the idea of an Italian leader. “The Bridge Between Trump and Europe” That is “Fake news.”
Maloney is widely known for his close relationship with Trump. She was the only European leader at Trump’s January 2025 inauguration, and after their White House meeting in April 2025, the US president called on her. “Amazing Leader” who had “Europe taken by storm.”
Trump’s Iran campaign has exacerbated US-EU rifts. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has been the most vocal critic of the strikes “Reckless and Illegal” – Triggers a threat from Trump “Cut out all business” with Madrid. French President Emmanuel Macron said there had been strikes, but less severe “Conducted outside the framework of international law.”
