📰 Italy’s Meloni Breaks Ranks Over Trump’s “Accidental” School Massacre Giorgia Meloni just called the Minab school strike a “massacre of girls” and said the war is now outside international law — while Trump still insists Iran somehow bombed itself with an American missile. Speaking in Rome, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemned the missile strike on the girls’ elementary school in Minab as a “massacre” and said the attack falls “outside the scope of international law,” explicitly demanding that those responsible be identified quickly. She stressed solidarity with the families of the “very young victims” and framed the school bombing as a red line even in the context of U.S.–Israeli operations against Iran. At the same time, multiple investigations and leaks now point straight back to Washington: media probes and a preliminary Pentagon inquiry have found that a U.S. Tomahawk, guided by outdated targeting data, hit the school while aiming at a nearby naval facility. Trump’s response has been to deny, deflect, and improvise — publicly suggesting, without evidence, that Iran might have used a “bought” American missile or that “somebody else” did it, even though Iran does not operate Tomahawks and only a handful of U.S. allies do. For Europe, Minab is the nightmare image of this war: rows of dead schoolgirls, a U.S. president dodging responsibility, and allies being dragged into defending the indefensible. Meloni’s language signals how far things have gone — when even a hard-right Atlanticist leader in Rome says the campaign is breaching international law, it’s a diplomatic way of warning Trump that he’s burning through what’s left of America’s moral credit with its own partners. So you end up with an ugly inversion: Iran, under bombardment, still looks like the one holding its line on sovereignty, while the United States — under Trump’s “make America great” banner — looks like the power that kills children by “mistake,” lies about it in public, and forces its allies to choose between their own laws and Washington’s war. If this war continues on autopilot, there won’t be enough reputational capital to rebuild trust — not in Tehran, and increasingly not in Rome, Berlin, or Paris. #iran#meloni#trump#minab#war#internationalLaw#fakeLeadership 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
