25.06.2025The day NATO committed to five percent
Trump's Hiroshima comparison dominated morning coverage as he declared the Iran raid equivalent to the atomic bombing, claiming it "closed the war" during NATO summit proceedings in The Hague. Intelligence agencies disputed his nuclear damage assessments, reporting centrifuges remained intact and uranium was relocated rather than destroyed.

NATO allies committed to spending 5% of GDP on defense by 2035, though Spain's resistance prompted Trump to threaten "double tariffs." The summit declaration notably omitted Ukraine's future membership prospects. Meloni described the spending target as "sustainable" for Italy while ruling out budget deviations for 2026.

Domestic tragedies punctuated the diplomatic coverage: authorities confirmed lifeguard Matteo Formenti's body was found near Chiari after a child drowned at his pool. The Court of Appeals upheld Alessandro Impagnatiello's life sentence for murdering Giulia Tramontano, though premeditation was excluded. An evening explosion at a Naples restaurant killed one person and injured four others.

Scontro aperto tra la Casa Bianca e la Defense Intelligence Agency del Pentagono, secondo cui il danno è contenuto, le centrifughe sono intatte, l'uranio arricchito è stato nascosto. Per i Servizi israeliani invece il ritardo inflitto è "di diversi anni". L'Iran assicura che gli attacchi aerei "ci rendono più determinati e tenaci nello sviluppo del programma nucleare"

Lo confermano gli ultimi sondaggi e del resto è proprio ciò che ha contribuito al successo di un non-politico classico come Trump. Negli ultimi ottanta anni l’interventismo militare all’estero e l’ostilità per l’impiego di energie umane e finanziarie in nome di disegni ideologici sono stati sempre bilanciati da periodi di prevalente disimpegno quasi isolazionista della Casa Bianca

Il senatore della Lega a Huffpost: "L'Ucraina accetti di aver perso i territori e la guerra finisca presto. Trump non può essere lo sceriffo del mondo. Il Nobel? Perché no. Non mi convince che l’Ue dica sì allo sforamento del patto di stabilità solo per comprare carri armati e missili. La stessa disponibilità deve essere garantita per tagliare le tasse, aumentare le pensioni, costruire ospedali"

L'analista israeliano, fondatore di Mitvim, a Huffpost: "Gli attacchi Usa hanno avuto un impatto sulle capacità iraniane, probabilmente non tale da imporre un cambio di rotta strategico. Il vero punto di svolta del conflitto non c’è ancora stato: in Iran l'ideologia dominante è ancora volta all'eliminazione dello Stato ebraico; in Israele, dopo il 7 ottobre, la mentalità è di reagire contro chiunque minacci"
