Rome, Italy. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Wednesday that Iran cannot be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons alongside a missile capability that could soon enable it to strike Europe. She warned that such a development could trigger a nuclear arms race.
Warning to the Senate
Meloni made the remarks while addressing the Italian Senate, saying, “We cannot allow the Ayatollah regime to possess nuclear weapons, combined with a missile capability that could soon be able to strike Italy and Europe directly.”
