"We are in the middle of a PREC in international relations. It is happening, we just don't know where it will end up and what the 25th of November will be"

CNN Portugal15 September 2026 at 12:41

Commentator José Azeredo Lopes, an international affairs specialist, analyzes the Middle East situation, noting that it is in a full-blown crisis period in international relations. The specialist emphasizes that this situation is unfolding, but there is significant uncertainty about how it will ultimately resolve.

The analysis focuses on the complex relationships among four primary actors: Saudi Arabia, the United States, Iran and Israel. Azeredo Lopes describes these relations as being at a particularly tense and unstable juncture.

The commentator also draws a comparison to the 25th of November, suggesting that the current international climate carries a comparable level of unpredictability to that historical date, with no clear trajectory for how events will unfold.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal follow with particular interest analyses that contextualize global instability, given that international relations have an impact on national economies, Portuguese foreign policy and emigrant communities in the region. This analysis offers a specialized perspective on dynamics that can influence European foreign policy and transatlantic relations.
