Jo McKenna: Italy Correspondent on Giorgia Meloni's criticism of the US-Israeli attacks on Iran

Italy’s Prime Minister has joined other EU leaders in criticising the US-Israeli war on Iran. 

They’ve reportedly bombed nearly ten thousand civilian sites, killing well over a thousand in Iran and hundreds more in Lebanon. 

Giorgia Meloni described the conflict as part of a growing and dangerous trend of interventions that fall “outside the scope of international law”. 

Italy Correspondent Jo McKenna told Mike Hosking Meloni is walking a tightrope between not wanting to be too openly critical of Donald Trump, but also being mindful of the polls.
