Europe Today: Tension is rising in Iran

During a session in Tehran, lawmakers wore IRGC uniforms and chanted slogans including “Death to America’ and “Shame on you, Europe.”

Meanwhile, calls are growing inside Iran for an inquiry into the number of people killed during recent protests, which were met with a violent crackdown.

We are joined by Ignacy Niemczycki, the State Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland responsible for EU affairs. Ignacy Niemczycki oversees Polish interests in the EU and is in Paris today for talks with the OECD.

It is time to turn our attention to Italy with our correspondent Giorgia Orlandi, where thousands have been gathering to protest against the planned presence of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the upcoming Winter Olympics starting this Friday.

The International Olympic Committee has also admitted its “distracting and sad” that the buildup to the events has been dominated by the deployment of ICE agents to Milan-Cortina and the appearance of the Los Angeles 2028 chair, Casey Wasserman, in the Epstein files… The US Justice Department released millions of files related to the late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein this weekend - and some European names have surfaced too.
