Il Tempo: L'Iran accede la miccia con Trump: “Lo Stretto di Hormuz è nostro, avete preso solo batoste”

È l'Iran a controllare lo Stretto di Hormuz e tutti i tentativi del presidente degli Stati Uniti, Donald Trump, di cambiare la situazione sono falliti. Ad assicurarlo è stato Ebrahim Rezaei, portavoce della commissione per la Sicurezza nazionale e la politica estera. "Il controllo iraniano sullo Stretto di Hormuz è consolidato a livello mondiale. Per questo i paesi chiedono il permesso, pagano i pedaggi e, con la guida della Marina dei Pasdaran, fanno passare le loro navi", ha scritto su X. "L'unica persona che non ci crede o non vuole crederci è Trump, che ogni tanto manda il suo esercito ad aprire lo stretto. Arrivano, prendono una batosta e tornano indietro", ha proseguito. "Invece di inutili lamentele e chiacchiere, pensate a inchinarvi al potere degli iraniani nel Golfo Persico", ha concluso Rezaei.

Nel frattempo il portavoce del ministero degli Esteri iraniano, Esmaeil Baghaei, ha condannato i "brutali" attacchi israeliani contro il Libano e ha accusato gli Stati Uniti di essere "complici" dei "crimini" commessi dall'Idf in Libano, nei Territori occupati palestinesi e in tutto il Medio Oriente. Come ricorda Al Jazeera, secondo il ministero della Salute di Beirut, almeno 3.324 persone sono state uccise e 10.027 ferite in Libano dall'inizio del conflitto il 2 marzo. Nel Paese vige formalmente un cessate il fuoco, violato quotidianamente sia dai soldati di Israele che dai miliziani di Hezbollah. Negli ultimi giorni l'Idf ha ripreso a bombardare sistematicamente il Paese, arrivando a colpire Tiro e la zona di Beirut oltre che il sud e la valle della Bekaa, e ha ampliato i combattimenti sul terreno, operando a nord della linea difensiva auto-imposta nel sud del Libano.

Iran joins Trump’s match with fire: “The Strait of Hormuz is ours, you’ve only taken rubble.”

Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and all attempts by the U.S. President, Donald Trump, to change the situation have failed. This was stated by Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesman for the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission. “Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz is consolidated globally. That’s why countries ask permission, pay tolls, and, with the guidance of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, allow their ships to pass,” he wrote on X. “The only person who doesn’t believe it or doesn’t want to believe it is Trump, who occasionally sends his army to open the strait. They arrive, take a beating, and return,” he continued. “Instead of useless complaints and chatter, think about submitting to the power of the Iranians in the Persian Gulf,” Rezaei concluded.

Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei condemned the “brutal” Israeli attacks on Lebanon and accused the United States of being “complicit” in the “crimes” committed by the IDF in Lebanon, the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and throughout the Middle East. As Al Jazeera notes, according to the Beirut Health Ministry, at least 3,324 people have been killed and 10,027 injured in Lebanon since the start of the conflict on March 2. A ceasefire formally prevails in the country, which is daily violated both by Israeli soldiers and by Hezbollah militants. In recent days, the IDF has resumed systematically bombing the country, reaching targets in Tyre and the Beirut area, as well as the south and Bekaa Valley, and has expanded ground combat operations north of the self-imposed defensive line in southern Lebanon.

Iran, new US raids in Bandar Abbas: the Basijis hit a US base, negotiations stalled after Tehran’s “bluff”

For the second time in three days, CENTCOM, the US multi-service command in the Middle East, has attacked Iranian military bases. The offensive took place in the port city of Bandar Abbas, which overlooks the Strait of Hormuz: US forces reported downing four Iranian drones that “threatened the area” and then striking the base from which a fifth drone was taking off, describing the attacks as “limited and defensive,” a definition already used to justify previous raids in southern Iran.

Teheran’s retaliation did not wait. The Basij, the Revolutionary Guard, announced today that it had targeted an American base, without specifying, in retaliation for the attacks earlier by the United States, threatening “more decisive” actions if such attacks were to repeat themselves.

Attacks that arrive just hours after a possible agreement between the parties. The state Iranian television presented a practically final draft of the peace agreement between Iran and the United States on Wednesday afternoon: in the agreement, the Trump administration committed to withdrawing its military forces “from the area surrounding Iran” and to lifting the naval blockade of Iranian ports. In return, the regime of Ayatollah Khamenei would have guaranteed to restore to pre-war levels the number of commercial ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz within one month of the agreement’s signing. The management and the maritime traffic through Hormuz, according to the draft agreement, would have been controlled by Iran in cooperation with Oman.

A completely denied agreement by the United States, with the White House having described it as “totally false”: Trump, speaking from Washington, reiterated that his administration would not accept Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to “blow up” Oman if it did not “behave like everyone else,” guaranteeing the free movement of ships in the strait.

In his speech from the White House, Trump, on the one hand, recognized the concerns about the consequences of a prolonged conflict, but at the same time trying to reassure Americans and voters, the midterm elections are getting closer, that an agreement with Iran is near.

This rather questionable thesis, considering the messages coming from Tehran. Ebrahim Azizi, Chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Iranian Parliament, reiterated that the regime will not deviate from its “red lines,” namely “the right to uranium enrichment, the possession of enriched uranium, authority over the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of international sanctions.”

Stability pact, Italy awaits the EU response on flexibility for energy.

AGI - The government is awaiting a response or counter-proposal from the EU to Italy’s request to introduce greater flexibility in the Stability Pact, even regarding energy, as is already possible with security matters. This request follows the surge in energy prices due to the Iran war. Yesterday, sources from Brussels announced that the Commission’s response should arrive next June 3rd, coinciding with the presentation of the “Spring Package of the European Semester.”

Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund estimates that Italy “will continue to grow at a modest pace, hampered by unfavorable external factors and structural challenges” such as the “excessively high” public debt, which exceeds 3 trillion euros.

“Italy’s position is very simple: we believe we are in an exceptional situation. Of course, some countries no longer have manufacturing and are therefore less interested in energy. But if the response is that ‘this cannot be done because we are not in a severe recession’, then the response is that it can be done for defense spending,” stated Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti during the Lega’s annual economic seminar in the Chamber of Deputies. He then added: “The discussion with the EU is ongoing, it is not easy. I hope that a counter-proposal or response from the EU on this aspect will arrive soon, there are all the elements for it. We will continue because we are convinced we are right.”

Critique of the EU’s Geopolitical Approach

Another assessment concerns the EU’s approach to the current global crisis. “In China and the US, the issue is addressed with a political vision. Essentially – the minister assessed – the EU is a passive subject that suffers the decisions of others. We continue with an approach from 10 or 20 years ago, in a world that has become totally different. You cannot continue to use the tools, rules and methods of an era that is now outdated.”

Vice Premier and League leader Matteo Salvini’s assessment of the EU is even tougher: “When they ask us what we do if Brussels says no, what do we do? If Brussels says: ‘you are dying and I am letting you die’, I will not die. I will not stop the Italian industrial system for caprice, complicity, slowness or obtuseness.”

IMF Estimates of GDP and Debt

Today, the IMF noted that Italy’s real GDP will grow by 0.5% in 2025, supported by private consumption and ongoing investments within the PNRR, with the Middle East conflict, and is projected to grow by 0.5% this year and in 2027. However, the IMF warns about the high public debt. It emphasizes that the overall deficit has fallen to 3.1% of GDP in 2025, reflecting an improved result compared to the initial target for the second consecutive year. Despite these advances, public debt has increased to approximately 137% of GDP by the end of 2025, and the debt dynamics remain “vulnerable to shocks related to growth, interest rates, and confidence.”

The IMF also suggests evaluating the effectiveness of the government’s measures to mitigate the high energy prices. The measures “should be budget-neutral, temporary, well-targeted, and not undermine incentives to reduce energy consumption” and therefore “the recent generalized reduction in excise duties on diesel and gasoline, aimed at mitigating the shock, should be replaced by targeted cash transfers to the most vulnerable families.” At the same time, the IMF observes, “any new spending, including that for defense, should be fully offset to safeguard budgetary sustainability.”

Giorgetti’s Response on Debt and Excise Duties

Giorgetti, responding to these observations, replied: “We know that the debt is high, it’s not a new thing, when we will finish paying the past rates of the Superbonus ‘as you know naturally it rises’. That’s why we are so careful in managing public finances.”

Regarding the IMF’s invitation to replace cuts in fuel excise duties with measures for families, the Minister of Economy replied: “Read the whole report, yesterday we had the meeting, it went well.”

Pil, debt, and excise duties: IMF triple rejection for Italy

The growth doesn’t restart, the debt remains high, and even measures like the cut in excise duties to address the energy shock are criticized. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) tears apart the Italian economy, highlighting the country’s critical situation and also targeting some of the government’s choices.

The first element concerns growth, which continues “at a moderate pace, weighed down by external factors and structural challenges.” Therefore, the blame is not only due to global tensions but also to Italian structural problems that are not addressed.

Growth doesn’t restart and the debt remains high: the IMF’s alarm

Let’s start with the growth data. Real GDP increased by only 0.5% last year, according to the Fund, and the situation is unlikely to improve with the impact of the war and the energy shock. Limited growth of 0.5% is expected for this and the next year, according to the analysis by the International Monetary Fund.

Despite the “fiscal consolidation” implemented in recent years, “the public debt remains too high,” the IMF notes. And even the drop in the deficit to 3.1% of GDP last year is not enough, because “despite these results, the public debt has increased to around 137% of GDP by the end of 2025 and the debt dynamic remains vulnerable to growth shocks, interest rates, and confidence.”

In addition to current contingencies, there are also structural issues to assess. Starting with the rapid aging of the population and the persistent weakness of productivity growth, elements that will continue to limit potential growth around 0.6% according to this analysis, also due to a lower workforce participation rate compared to similar countries, especially for women and young people.

This should be added to, indeed, the global uncertainties that lead to considering growth risks “downward.” The rise in energy prices has weakened consumer confidence and increased the probability of GDP growth below previous forecasts. Furthermore, a prolonged conflict in the Middle East could lead to a new increase in prices, exacerbating financial conditions and further weakening confidence and consequently economic activity.

The Failure of the Excise Cut

There is another warning issued by the IMF, which concerns the generalized reduction in excise duties on gasoline and diesel, introduced to reduce the impact of the oil shock. But according to the Fund, this measure “should be replaced by targeted monetary transfers to the most vulnerable families.” In the opinion of the international organization, “measures to mitigate the impact of rising energy prices should be neutral with respect to the budget, temporary, well-targeted, and not dampen the incentive to reduce energy consumption.”

There are also other requests from the IMF, such as the elimination of the flat tax on self-employment income and updating property values in the land registry. Conversely, the government’s decision to cancel early retirement benefits is promoted, a government decision that contradicts years and years of election campaigns.

L'Unità: Rissa tra giovani alla stazione, il 22enne Gianluca Ibarra Silvera ucciso a coltellate

Sarebbe esplosa tra i binari del treno, alla stazione di Milano Certosa, la rissa tra una decina di persone che ha lasciato per terra una vittima. 22enne, ritrovato ferito e incosciente a terra all’arrivo della Polfer. Era nato in Italia, di origini sudamericane: si chiamava Gianluca Ibarra Silvera. Ancora da accertare dinamica e contesto dell’accaduto. Al momento, secondo quanto scrive Il Corriere della Sera Milano, la rissa potrebbe aver coinvolto gang di ragazzi avversi ma secondo Lapresse potrebbe essersi trattata di un’aggressione al giovane che in quel momento si trovava con i fratelli.
La violenza si è consumata intorno alle 22:30 in via Mambretti, presso la stazione ferroviaria alla periferia nord del capoluogo della Lombardia. Binario 6. Gianluca Ibarra Silvera aveva origini ecuadoriane. Almeno una decina di persone avrebbero partecipato alla rissa, diverse le coltellate che hanno ferito la vittima. Le sue condizioni sono state giudicate subito molto gravi dai sanitari accorsi sul posto, il 22enne era stato rianimato e trasportato in codice rosso all’ospedale Fatebenefratelli. Si erano dati alla fuga gli altri ragazzi: quando sul posto sono arrivato agenti e sanitari sarebbero salito a bordo di un treno. Al momento non si esclude alcuna pista.

The Expeditors: "The probability that war will resume between Iran and the US is low."

AGI - The chances of a renewed war between the US and Iran are “low.” This was stated to the Tasnim agency by Mohammad Akbarzadeh, the deputy chief political officer of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s Guardians.
Tehran: “Unlikely a new war between Iran and the US”
“The possibility of a war is low due to the weakness of the enemy, the armed forces are in ambush with full reserves,” Akbarzadeh declared. In the event of a resumption of hostilities, the official of the pasdaran added, “do not doubt that we will transform the area from Chabahar to Mahshahr, two locations at the extremes of the long southern coast of Iran, into a cemetery for the aggressors.”
Indian Sailors Freed Detained in Iran
Ten Indian sailors, detained in Iran since July 2025, have been released. The Indian maritime authorities announced this.
The sailors, aboard the MV Harbour Phoenix, had been “detained, arrested and imprisoned in Iran after the ship was intercepted near the port of Jask in July 2025,” the Indian Maritime Authority said in a statement. “They have been released and are safe.” “Coordination is underway on the necessary arrangements so that the crew members can return to India as soon as possible,” the authority concluded.
Iran regularly announces the interception of ships, accusing them of illegally transporting fuel in the Gulf. New Delhi and Tehran maintain diplomatic and energy relations, but India also has strong ties with the United States and Israel. New Delhi has not provided details on the reason for the arrest or the vessel, which, according to maritime monitoring websites, is a tanker flying a Palau flag.
China Calls for a Ceasefire
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reiterated Beijing’s call for respect for a ceasefire in the Middle East and expressed the hope that the United States and Iran would seek a compromise. The state agency Xinhua reported this. “We hope that the parties involved will remain determined to seek a ceasefire and continue to seek common ground so that peace can return to the Middle East as soon as possible,” the minister said, cited by the agency.

Iran, talks are underway: US raid on launch bases. And Israel strikes Hezbollah.

Tension levels are rising again in the Middle East following the United States’ launch this morning of “self-defense” attacks against Iranian missile launch sites and ships in the Strait of Hormuz, despite the ceasefire in effect.

Tehran strongly condemned the US raid and continued “illegal and unjustified actions.” The Islamic Republic promises not to let these actions go unpunished, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abolfazl Shekarchi clarified that any new aggression will receive a “much more severe” response intended to extend beyond the region. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also stated that “the region’s territories will no longer serve as a shield for American bases.” Conversely, the Revolutionary Guard (Pasdaran) then claimed to have shot down a US drone and announced that they had fired on an F-35 fighter jet.

Meanwhile, optimistic talks are emerging regarding the negotiation issue. The Iranian delegation in Doha speaks of optimism, and President Masoud Pezeshkian even stated, during a phone call with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, that Tehran is ready to achieve what he called “a dignified framework” to end the war and the current regional tensions.

The issue of uranium enrichment remains central. President Donald Trump wants “it to be immediately handed over to the United States to be returned home and destroyed or, preferably, in collaboration and coordination with Iran, destroyed on site or in another acceptable location, with the Atomic Energy Commission, or its equivalent, present as a witness to this process and this event.”

The front is undergoing rapid evolution, while on the other side tensions continue in Lebanon, where the Israeli army has continued raids against Hezbollah’s militant Shia groups and launched ground operations beyond the “red line.” “We are intensifying our operations,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “The IDF is operating with significant forces on the ground and taking control of strategically dominant positions. We are strengthening the security buffer zone to protect the communities of northern Israel.”
