Editorial: El Mundo

  • Donald Trump has again extended a ceasefire with Iran that he himself had turned into an ultimatum.
  • The indefinite truce is seen as a good news despite the lack of planning that surrounds the offensive.
  • Trump justifies the extension of the truce on the grounds that the Iranian government is 'fractured'.
  • The Strait of Hormuz, blocked by the United States, is a significant strategic and economic problem.
  • The absence of an exit strategy in this conflict is concerning.
  • The European Commission is considering coordinating reserves and sharing kerosene among member states to deal with potential shortages.
  • The White House is hoping that military and economic pressure will break the ayatollahs' regime, although history indicates the opposite.

Conclusion: The truce prevents immediate escalation, but without a clear political approach, it only temporarily postpones the increasingly expensive bill of this crisis.
