European leaders discuss Iran tensions and rule out joining a war

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni broke several days of silence on the Iran crisis, stating clearly that Italy is not at war and does not want to enter one. She spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron about the situation, and they discussed supporting Gulf states and Cyprus.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has emerged as Europe's most vocal critic of U.S. and Israeli actions against Iran, publicly saying "No to war!" Meloni and Sánchez are both navigating the crisis, with their positions seen as going against the current of broader geopolitical pressures.
