The day was dominated by the parliamentary vote denying prosecutors access to Undersecretary Delmastro's chats, a story that built from morning anticipation to an afternoon of theatrical protest and a final secret-ballot rejection. Opposition leaders Conte and Schlein spoke in the chamber, with M5S deputies waving phones and AVS members wearing blindfolds; the majority prevailed 206–133. The vote overshadowed other developments, including the overnight Russian missile strike on Kyiv that killed 17 civilians and Zelensky's blame on lack of interceptors, and the reported Iran-Oman accord to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Trump had hinted at. Earlier, Economy Minister Giorgetti told the EU Italy would seek maximum flexibility for energy spending and 0.9% of GDP for defense. The Delmastro affair, framed by the opposition as a shield for party allies, became the day's central editorial focus, eclipsing even the Kyiv massacre and the Hormuz breakthrough.
