11:15⇢Trump's Hiroshima comparison at NATO
⌨The newspapers report Trump comparing the Iran raid to Hiroshima during a NATO summit press conference with Secretary-General Rutte in The Hague, declaring it "closed the war" and ended the conflict (Adnkronos, ANSA, Corriere Della Sera, La Repubblica, La Stampa, Sky TG24). The coverage reveals Trump's anger with intelligence agencies who dispute his claims about the raid's effectiveness at Fordow nuclear facility (Corriere Della Sera). Meanwhile, NATO discussions focus on increasing defense spending to 5% of GDP, with Rutte dismissing Spanish resistance as manageable while reaffirming US commitment to Article 5 (ANSA, Avvenire, Il Sole 24 Ore). Domestically, Deputy Prime Minister Salvini proposes limiting torture charges against prison staff, calling current prison conditions "extremely difficult" and rejecting claims that guards are "torturers," prompting criticism from the Democratic Party and Ilaria Cucchi (HuffPost Italia).
