07.05.2026The Day Hormuz Flared Up

The day began with the closure of the Garlasco investigation: prosecutors formally accused Andrea Sempio of murdering Chiara Poggi, seeking a revision of Alberto Stasi's conviction. This story dominated morning headlines across outlets. By mid-afternoon, attention shifted to Lebanon after a rocket struck an Italian UNIFIL vehicle in Shama, causing no injuries. The afternoon saw US Secretary of State Rubio meet Pope Leo XIV in a friendly encounter, easing recent tensions. In the evening, the situation escalated sharply in the Strait of Hormuz: US forces struck two Iranian ports and an oil tanker, while Tehran claimed to have hit three US destroyers and vowed retaliation. Trump simultaneously gave the EU an ultimatum to comply with a trade agreement by July 4 or face higher tariffs.

Il nuovo documento ha il pregio della chiarezza, fin troppo. Individua bene le minacce contemporanee (Iran, narcos), ma le estende senza remore al dissenso interno radicale, magari violento ma non strutturato. E considera l'Europa dell'immigrazione di massa un'incubatrice della radicalizzazione. Una dichiarazione d’intenti e un manifesto politico

Qualche barile in meno, ma a prezzo più alto: secondo le stime di Goldman Sachs, i ricavi di Riad stanno crescendo del 10%. Dopo il maxi deficit fiscale nel primo trimestre (il più alto dal 2018) il greggio intorno ai 100 dollari è una manna per le casse saudite, a caccia di fondi per finanziare i colossali progetti voluti dal principe Bin Salman. Domanda: la guerra all'Iran è un affare per il Regno?

Probabilmente nulla potrà nemmeno lo sciopero della fame deciso da Giachetti, scuola Radicali. L'esecutivo che voleva spezzare le reni all'egemonia culturale della sinistra ha visto passare senza colpo ferire tre sollecitazioni di Mattarella e 15 Commissioni andate a vuoto. Una storia senza soluzione di continuità di veti, muri e ripicche, lunga quattro anni

Il volto buono della Casa Bianca per ricucire lo strappo di Trump e risintonizzare l'elettorato in vista del midterm. Confronto sulla pace, appesa a un filo in Medio Oriente; sui migranti, con gli Usa che denunciano l'Europa "incubatrice di radicalizzazione"; su Cuba, mentre scattano nuove sanzioni; sull'AI, strapotente e sregolata in America. Segnali di difficile convergenza, dietro i sorrisi e i ramoscelli d'ulivo
