Italy prime minister condemns Iran school strike Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni condemned on Wednesday a deadly missile strike on a school in Iran early in the Middle East war, calling for those responsible to be identified. “On behalf of the government, I express my firm condemnation of the massacre of girls at the school in Minab, southern Iran,” the leader told the Italian Senate. She offered her solidarity with the families of the "very young victims" and said she wanted "responsibility for this tragedy to be swiftly ascertained".

A New York Times investigation said evidence showed that the school was hit during a series of US strikes targeting an adjacent naval base.
