Lajes: 75 years later, what remains of the American dream?

Público7 September 2026 at 05:30

75 years ago, the Americans arrived on the island of Terceira, in the Azores, establishing a military base in Lajes. With their arrival, they brought what became known as the "American dream," transforming local life and the island's economy.

This episode (possibly from a radio or video program) travels through the history of this enchantment that was created around the American presence on Terceira over the decades.

The Lajes base played and continues to play a significant role in geopolitics and in relations between the United States and Portugal.

The episode looks at this legacy and at the role the base still plays today, exploring how the American presence shaped the island's identity and development over 75 years.

Iran to announce new restricted zone in the Gulf and corridor at Ormuz

Iran will announce in the coming days a new restricted zone in the Persian Gulf, which will start from the point where the American blockade ends and will include sanctions for ships that enter it. In parallel, Tehran and Oman are finalizing maps for an international maritime corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, which will be under Iranian management. The announcement comes amid an exchange of attacks between Tehran and the United States, with American forces having destroyed three Iranian oil tankers on Saturday, after attacks by the Revolutionary Guard against American warships. Traffic of goods through the Strait of Hormuz has dropped to just 10 ships per day, the lowest level since May.

Capitol Invaders Demand Compensation and Sue the State

Several invaders of the United States Capitol are suing the federal government seeking compensation totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. The lawsuits are based on the argument that authorities created a "false narrative" by characterizing the events of January 6, 2021 as an insurrection. The defendants' lawyers claim their clients were induced to believe they could enter the building legitimately, and that security forces did not prevent them from entering, suggesting the visit was authorized.
