Don’t think anything really.
They’ve been partners with DL and AF/KL which are the main ST players, for a while already.

Would ITA status allow you to get into the Virgin lounges now?

Never flown Virgin but I have Gold status from when they did a big campaign in Israel to try to poach business travelers.
Just received an email that this gives me Flying Blue Elite Plus status, with FB lounge access etc
