The Iranian authorities reiterated that Tehran does not intend to renounce control over the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most strategic sea lanes for international oil traffic. This position comes in the context of persistent tensions in the Middle East region.

Regarding Ukraine's domestic politics, Mário Vaz commented that Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has been gaining popularity, in contrast to the growing political fragility of President Volodymyr Zelensky.

This comment comes at a time of significant political instability in Ukraine, where questions about leadership and the management of the war against Russia continue to divide domestic public opinion.
