07.05.2025Day India's Missiles Launched As Cardinals Gathered
The India-Pakistan conflict escalated dramatically as India launched missile strikes against alleged terrorist camps in Kashmir and Punjab, killing 34 people. Pakistan denounced this as "an act of war" and promised retaliation, with Trump calling the situation "shameful" while China offered to mediate.

Simultaneously, the Papal conclave opened with morning mass and afternoon procession into the Sistine Chapel. At 16:30, the formal "Extra Omnes" declaration sealed 133 cardinal electors inside, with Cardinal Parolin reportedly leading among candidates. By evening, 45,000 faithful gathered in St. Peter's Square awaiting the first smoke signal, which eventually came as black smoke after 19:00, indicating no Pope was elected in the first vote.

Prime Minister Meloni addressed the Senate, announcing Italy would reach NATO's 2% GDP defense spending target in 2025 while emphasizing the need for a "European pillar of NATO" and expressing support for preferential voting.

Intervista con la storia sul Conclave che parte oggi: “Francesco è stato un Papa autoritario, che piaceva perché abbassava sé e non elevava gli altri, che ha confuso rituale e potere. Questo Conclave si annuncia molto confuso. Spero arrivi un pontefice che non teme l’impopolarità”

Il responsabile dell’India Desk dell’Ispi a Huffpost. Quello indiano "è stato un attacco multiplo" e inoltre ha colpito "non soltanto nel Kashmir conteso, ma anche nel Punjab".

Ma "nessuno ha interesse in questo momento a una escalation, questa sarebbe una guerra fra potenze nucleari che il mondo non può permettersi"

La mediazione su Gaza fa una gran fatica, gli Accordi di Abramo fra Israele e Arabia Saudita sembrano prematuri, il proclama sugli Houthi affrettato. E allora, in vista del viaggio in Medio Oriente con una pattuglia di Ceo al seguito e un faldone di accordi da firmare, il presidente punta sulla specialità della casa: la riscrittura delle mappe geografiche, omaggio alla prevalenza saudita nella regione rispetto al rivale iraniano
