The article analyzes six months of war in Iran through six key figures, focusing on the leaders who promote it and those who try to end it. Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu face declining popularity as elections approach and the impasse drags on. The absence of Mojtaba Khamenei, the supreme leader's son, fuels speculation about his health. Meanwhile, Pakistan and Oman continue to develop diplomatic efforts, and Mohammed bin Salman is also pressuring Trump towards de-escalation of the conflict.
CNN Portugal commentator José Azeredo Lopes considered that the guarantees given by US President Donald Trump on NATO "are worth absolutely nothing," as are the statements from the Kremlin. Azeredo Lopes stated that if Trump assured that Russia will not attack NATO, that would be reason for greater concern, emphasizing the lack of credibility of both the American president's words and those of the Russian government.
Sandra Felgueiras comments on the details revealed by TVI and CNN Portugal about the use of Xuxas's car, one of the biggest drug traffickers in Portugal, by Luís Neves, warning that if the case leads the country to a "swamp," that will not be the fault of the journalists who reported this information.
Socialist João Soares criticized at the PSD Summer University the comparison between José Luís Carneiro and André Ventura, classifying it as "an indecency", but defended Minister Luís Neves from what he considered a "miserable campaign" against him.
The Portuguese prime minister, Luís Montenegro, reaffirmed his confidence in the minister of Internal Administration amid considerable controversy involving Luís Neves and suspicions of irregularities related to his former position as national director of the Judicial Police.
