You are using a real date here, but it should be a timestamp instead, since
a date is a string and not a numeric value you could compare with another.
Additionally you are using isGreaterThan and isLessThan inverted.

According to TSref the following statements are true:

.isGreaterThan = 11
.value = 10


and

.isLessThan = 10
.value = 11

So your code should be:

page.5 = HTML
page.5.value = <iframe >...</iframe>
page.5.if {
    # get current date
    value.data = date:U
    # start date
    isLessThan = ###timestamp start###
    # end date
    isGreaterThan = ###timestamp end###
}

Replace the ###timestamp xxx### markers with the appropriate timestamps.
