"Trump cannot afford to come out defeated from Iran and Putin even less, because his own survival depends on it"

CNN Portugal10 September 2026 at 23:53

Jorge Silva Carvalho, commentator at CNN Portugal, made an analysis about the situation of the wars in Ukraine and Iran. In his intervention, the commentator addressed the political and strategic implications of these conflicts for the world leaders involved.

According to Silva Carvalho, Donald Trump cannot afford to come out defeated from Iran. The commentator emphasized the importance of this conflict for the position of the United States in the region and for the credibility of the American administration.

The analyst was even more categorical regarding Vladimir Putin, stating that the Russian president directly depends on this conflict for his own survival. This analysis suggests that Putin has invested significantly in supporting Iran as part of his broader geopolitical strategy.

Silva Carvalho's intervention on CNN Portugal sought to take stock of these two interconnected conflicts, highlighting the consequences that an eventual defeat could have for both leaders and for the global balance of power.
