Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has been targeted by US President Donald Trump and Russian commentator Vladimir Solovyov, who both criticized her for her lack of respect for Iran and its nuclear intentions. These comments have been seen as a boost for Meloni at home, uniting opposition groups who have long opposed her policies. The Russian commentator also called Meloni a "certifiable idiot" and a "disgrace to the human race" over her support for Ukraine. The attacks have also boosted Meloni's approval rating in Italy, where she recently lost a national referendum over judicial reform.
