The 81st United Nations General Assembly begins on Tuesday in New York under the theme "Restoring Trust, Managing Transformation". This session marks a significant moment for the organization, as it will be the last time António Guterres will be present in his capacity as UN Secretary-General.

The choice of theme reflects the priorities that the current leader of the organization intends to leave as a legacy for his successors. The event brings together world leaders to discuss the main global challenges in a period of profound transformations in international geopolitics.

Conflict escalation leads Iran to threaten creating a no-fly zone in the Strait of Hormuz

The conflict between the United States and Iran escalated over the weekend, with mutual attacks in the Persian Gulf region. The US attacked Iranian vessels with missiles, while Iran fired at American bases and commercial ships, in a dispute over control of the Strait of Hormuz. The US strategy now includes direct attacks on Iranian oil tankers, even in Iranian waters. Given this escalation, Iran threatened to create an "exclusion zone" in the Strait of Hormuz "in the coming days," covering sectors of the Gulf where any ship that enters will be subject to sanctions. Iran's chief negotiator warned that "the era of proportionate responses is over" and that any aggression will receive a response "faster, more intense and more painful."

Praia da Salema, located in the municipality of Vila do Bispo, in the Algarve, was chosen by the American magazine Travel + Leisure as one of the best secret beaches in the world, standing out for its tranquil and authentic atmosphere. Located between Lagos and Sagres, the beach has kept the fishing tradition of the village alive, with white houses, narrow streets and boats along the sand. Although not isolated, it has Blue Flag certification, lifeguards, parking and various services, with water temperatures between 19 and 21 degrees in summer.
