So South Italians are 29% mid-eastern because of the east-med and southwest asian component?

Yes because of the Egyptian, North African, Arabian and partly EastMediterranean/Persian (probably half of the percentage are more Near Eastern like).

30.7 Eastmed / 2 = 15.3 %
2.2 Persian / 2 = 1.1
Arabian = 3.6%
North African = 5.5%
Egyptian = 4.8%

15.3 + 1.1 + 3.6 + 5.5 + 4.8 = 30.3%

30.3%~ 29.7%

"Iberian" peaks in Sardinia? I didn't notice it, but if that is the case then the label is completely off.

Yes the same goes for the "Persian" component like I mentioned. They have sometimes issues with labeling their components. It peaks in West Iran/Southeast Caucasus/North Mesopotamia and follows a Southern root to Eastern Caspian. Labeling this component "South Caspian" would come closer to reality.

They probably think (Which isnt that false anyway) that Iberians and Sardinians have the same origin and can be labeled as one "Iberian".

The two populations are different, and it's well known that the Sardinians are genetic isolates just like the Basques. For example on Dodecad k12

The two populations might have things in common but it's debatable wether they have the same origin. Unless they have the same pre historic origin but Sardinians didn't suffer the same influences as Iberians in the following centuries.

I think you misunderstood me. Of course Iberians and Sardinians are different. Iberians have more Northwest European component. What I mean is that both have partly the same ancient Southwest European population.
I thought this is a pretty known fact. Even in Dienekes Dodecad K12b the Atlantic_Med (Southwest European) component peaks in Basque (73%) and Sardinians(70%).

Iberians and Sardinians have obviously similar origin. In my opinion Sardinians are the ancestors of "Pre Indo-European" Iberians, which cam from Western Asia through Sea.
