The story broke in the early afternoon and led across outlets, with NATO and EU leaders weighing in, while the internal League challenge to Salvini continued as a secondary thread. Earlier, the day opened with the renewed US-Iran conflict, as reports of missile attacks near the Strait of Hormuz impacted global markets, and the Schengen suspension with Spain continued. The tragic family murder-suicide in Rome's Pietralata district also received prominent coverage.
