"Dozens rallied in Milan's Piazza della Scala on Thursday in support of Iran and Lebanon, calling for an end to US and Israeli military actions in the Middle East following a two-week ceasefire announced earlier in the week. Footage shows protesters waving flags of Lebanon, Iran and Palestine and chanting slogans, with signs reading 'Workers: stand with Iran! To have peace, USA and Israel must be defeated' and 'To kill a war machine. Smash it up. Shut it down'. "The declared goal of the Zionist entity is that of Greater Israel. A sick ideology, the ethno-nationalist Zionist one, which wants to annihilate the Arab people so they can be replaced," a protester told the crowd, also criticising Israeli military operations in Lebanon. She went on to denounce the Italian authorities, claiming, "This infamous fascist government, the Meloni government, since October 2023, declares it no longer sends arms and fuel to the Zionist entity." The US and Iran agreed on a conditional two-week ceasefire on Tuesday night, shortly before Donald Trump's own deadline for a deal and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. High-level delegations from the US and Iran are scheduled to meet in Islamabad, Pakistan, on Friday for peace talks. Tensions in the Middle East escalated after the United States and Israel launched joint military operations against Iran on February 28. Tehran responded with strikes targeting Israeli and US military sites across the region, with reports of explosions in several Gulf countries. The conflict has also drawn in Hezbollah, which said it joined the fighting in retaliation for Khamenei's killing, while shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, faced disruption following its closure."
