Donald Trump evokes conflict with Iran as example of fight against terrorism

RTP Notícias11 September 2026 at 21:10

Donald Trump evoked the conflict with Iran during his tribute speech to the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The former president of the United States used this war as an example of the fight he continues to wage against what he termed "terrorism."

In his speech, Trump stated he remains committed to the security of the country, specifically referring to the war the United States is fighting against Iran. This intervention comes in the context of the commemorative ceremonies for the anniversary of the terrorist attacks that marked American history more than two decades ago.

The reference to Iran as part of the fight against terrorism reflects the position Trump maintained during his term in office and that he continues to defend. This is not the first time the former president has associated Iran with terrorist threats, a narrative that has been recurring in his political rhetoric.

Montenegro says school "lost quality". But solutions...

Prime Minister Luís Montenegro stated in Setúbal that the Portuguese school has lost quality and rigor in recent years, supporting the diagnosis with the PISA 2025 results, and announced a 170 million euro package to modernize 35 schools in the Setúbal Peninsula, funded by the EIB, as well as 500 euro monthly incentives to attract 600 teachers to the region. However, experts warn that the measures lack legislative scheduling, that execution depends on annual budget allocation in the State Budget, and that structural reforms require parliamentary approval, while the restriction on mobile phone use remains without a defined regime. Montenegro's discourse softened within 48 hours, no longer attributing blame exclusively to previous governments, although experts dispute the use of PISA as a curriculum assessment, emphasizing that results depend on socioeconomic variables and that improving skills takes about a decade to produce effects.
