Il Tempo: Iran, le 24 ore decisive. Trump: "Hormuz? Passo avanti ma non basta"
"Hanno fatto una proposta, ed è una proposta significativa. È un passo significativo. Non è abbastanza, ma è un passo molto significativo". Lo ha detto il presidente Usa, Donald Trump, parlando con i giornalisti alla Casa Bianca delle ultime proposte emerse per porre fine al conflitto in Iran. "Vedremo che cosa succederà", ha aggiunto Trump, che per le 19 ora italiana ha in programma una conferenza stampa. I commenti di Trump sono arrivati in occasione dell'annuale Easter Egg Roll alla Casa Bianca, dove ha anche ribadito che la leadership iraniana è ora "molto più ragionevole". "Il primo regime è stato eliminato, il secondo regime è stato eliminato. Ora il terzo gruppo di persone con cui abbiamo a che fare non è così radicalizzato, e pensiamo che in realtà siano molto più intelligenti", ha detto Trump.
E c'è un ultimatum. La scadenza fissata per martedì alle 20 ora della costa est Usa per un accordo per la riapertura dello Stretto di Hormuz è definitiva. Alla domanda posta da un giornalista, che durante l'Easter Egg Roll alla Casa Bianca ha chiesto appunto se sia definitiva la scadenza da lui fissata, Trump ha risposto "sì".
Gli Stati Uniti, inoltre, continueranno la campagna di bombardamenti contro l'Iran se Teheran non accetterà di fermarsi sul fronte nucleare. Il presidente ha spiegato di aver utilizzato espressioni forti in un recente post sui social, in cui minacciava attacchi contro ponti e infrastrutture energetiche iraniane, "per far passare il messaggio". Trump ha ribadito che l'Iran "non può avere un'arma nucleare" e ha accusato la leadership di Teheran di non voler cedere. "Se non lo fanno, non avranno più ponti, non avranno centrali elettriche, non avranno più nulla", ha affermato, sottolineando che le operazioni militari proseguiranno finché non ci sarà una resa.
Il presidente ha anche aggiornato sulla vicenda dei due piloti del caccia Usa abbattuto in Iran venerdì e recuperati: "Si stanno riprendendo molto bene". "Sta davvero bene", ha detto Trump riferendosi al pilota che ha trascorso più di un giorno nascosto in Iran prima di essere salvato nel corso di un'operazione Usa. "Si stanno riprendendo molto bene entrambi", ha aggiunto, "erano entrambi feriti e stanno bene".
Iran, the 24 decisive hours. Trump: “Hormuz? A step forward but not enough.”
He made a proposal, and it’s a significant proposal. It’s a significant step. It’s not enough, but it’s a very significant step.” He said that US President, Donald Trump, speaking to journalists at the White House about the latest proposals emerging to end the conflict in Iran. “We’ll see what happens,” Trump added, who has a press conference scheduled for 7 pm Italian time. Trump’s comments came on the occasion of the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House, where he also reiterated that the Iranian leadership is now “much more reasonable.” “The first regime was eliminated, the second regime was eliminated. Now the third group of people we are dealing with is not so radicalized, and we think they are actually much smarter,” Trump said.
And there’s an ultimatum. The deadline set for Tuesday at 8 pm Eastern US time for an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is firm. When asked by a journalist, who during the Easter Egg Roll at the White House asked him specifically if the deadline he had set was firm, Trump replied “yes.”
The United States will also continue its bombing campaign against Iran if Tehran does not agree to stop on the nuclear front. The president explained that he had used strong language in a recent social media post, in which he threatened attacks against Iranian bridges and energy infrastructure, “to get the message across.” Trump reiterated that Iran “cannot have a nuclear weapon” and accused the leadership of Tehran of not wanting to yield. “If they don’t, they won’t have any bridges, they won’t have power plants, they won’t have anything,” he said, emphasizing that military operations will continue until there is a surrender.
The president also updated on the matter of the two US fighter pilots shot down in Iran on Friday and recovered: “They are recovering very well.” “He is really doing well,” Trump said, referring to the pilot who spent more than a day hidden in Iran before being rescued during a US operation. “They are both recovering very well,” he added, “they were both injured and they are fine.”

Triple #PolarVortex to plunge #CentralUS and #EasternUS into Arctic cold through mid-December
The first cold snap is happening this week.
Kate Murphy, Reporter
Thu, December 4, 2025
"Three rounds of cold Arctic air from a shifting polar vortex are expected to plunge much of the central and eastern U.S. into a cold snap in the coming weeks, meteorologists say. The first wave of the triple whammy of winter weather is happening this week.
" 'The week will end with some of the coldest air of the season so far, as a front advances from the Midwest into the Northeast and mid-Atlantic,' said Renee Duff, AccuWeather senior meteorologist.
"Meteorologists forecast two more blasts of frigid temperatures for millions of people over the next two weeks.
" 'A displacement of the polar vortex is allowing Arctic air to seep into the central and eastern U.S.,' Duff explained. 'A second cold outbreak is in the forecast next week, and a third round of frigid air is likely during the middle of the month.'
When will the cold air arrive?
"Brutally cold temperatures hit portions of the Midwest on Thursday morning, while the northern mid-Atlantic and New England will feel the freeze on Friday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
" 'The outbreak this week will be the first of probably three such rounds with it,' said AccuWeather’s lead long-range meteorologist, Paul Pastelok. 'Another cold blast is likely next week and a third the week after that.'
How cold will it get?
" 'Low temperatures in the negative single digits and teens for the #Midwest and single digits and teens for the northern #MidAtlantic/#NewEngland may challenge several daily record low temperatures,' the NWS said."
