"Give the idea that everything is under control": what worries Trump in the conflict with Iran

CNN Portugal13 September 2026 at 09:34

With the midterm elections approaching, Donald Trump is mainly focused on reassuring Americans and conveying the idea that the situation is under control, according to the news analysis.

The conflict between the United States and Iran continues to worsen, according to CNN Portugal commentator José Palmeira, who warns of the escalating tension between the two countries.

Palmeira warns that the consequences of this worsening could have a significant impact globally, particularly affecting energy markets and the world economy.

The article suggests that Trump's main concern is not just managing the conflict itself, but also the need to control the political narrative at a critical moment for his administration.

Why this matters

The article is relevant for Portuguese readers because it addresses an international conflict that could affect global energy markets, influencing energy prices in Europe and Portugal. The analysis also allows understanding how considerations of US domestic politics, such as the midterm elections, can influence decisions with international impact.

The night when Castelo Branco entered the history of Portugal's wonders

The Garden of the Episcopal Palace of Castelo Branco was distinguished as one of the New 7 Wonders of Portugal in the Tourism category, in an announcement made on September 13, 2026 in Sintra. The garden, a National Monument and a singular example of Portuguese baroque, was commissioned by Bishop D. João de Mendonça around 1720 and became public in 1919. The space is divided into four terraces with sculptures of the zodiac signs, the seasons, the continents, and a staircase of kings where the monarchs of the Filipino period appear in reduced dimensions. The victory represents a moment of heritage and tourism affirmation for Castelo Branco and the region, projecting a space that had existed for centuries beyond local borders.
