Estados Unidos

• Trump prometió un final rápido a la guerra de Irán, pero no ha explicado cómo. El presidente Trump apostó a que la potencia de fuego estadounidense podría acobardar a Irán para que cumpliera las demandas de EE. UU. Hasta ahora, los líderes de Irán no han estado dispuestos a renunciar.
• Pete Hegseth despide al jefe del ejército de EE. UU. Los oficiales superiores del ejército estadounidense reaccionaron con molestia y frustración a la noticia de la destitución del general Randy George.

Mundo

• Irán presenta 10 puntos que dice son la base para las pláticas de alto al fuego. El plan, que reafirma el control de Irán sobre el estrecho de Ormuz y mantiene el derecho del país al enriquecimiento nuclear, no es el mismo que el que el presidente Trump dijo que era una “base viable” para las negociaciones.
• Elogios, alivio y el agobio: los líderes mundiales reaccionan al alto al fuego en Irán. En Europa y en todo el mundo, la guerra ha dañado las economías, ha agitado la política y ha puesto de relieve la falta de opciones para hacer frente a los caprichos del presidente Trump.

• Hegseth compara el rescate de un aviador de EE. UU. con la resurrección de Jesús. El presidente Trump también afirmó que Dios apoya la guerra estadounidense contra Irán “porque Dios es bueno, y Dios quiere que se cuide a la gente”.
• Trump lanza serias amenazas a Irán mientras se vence su plazo para Ormuz. El presidente de EE. UU. advirtió que “toda una civilización morirá esta noche” si Irán no llega a un acuerdo para reabrir el estrecho de Ormuz antes de las 8:00 p. m. hora del Este.
• Trump, el negociador de deportaciones. El presidente quiere que terceros países reciban a los migrantes que no pueden ser devueltos a sus patrias. Para conseguirlo, casi todo está sujeto a negociación.
• Trump quiere hacer tratos de deportación. Los autócratas están dispuestos a escuchar. La Casa Blanca ha convertido las deportaciones, un asunto interno emblemático, en una pieza importante de la política exterior. Esto es lo que sabemos sobre el programa.
• Cerca del plazo de Trump, Irán y EE. UU. mezclan amenazas con indicios de un acuerdo. Una contrapropuesta de Irán de 10 puntos para poner fin a la guerra representa una posible salida. El presidente Trump la calificó como un paso significativo, pero “no suficiente”.

• Trump quería algo que Pam Bondi no le pudo dar. El verdadero motivo del descontento de Trump con la fiscala general era, al parecer, su incapacidad para satisfacer su necesidad de venganza contra sus enemigos.

Tiempo y clima

• Los peajes en el estrecho de Ormuz desafían el derecho internacional. Tanto EE. UU. como Irán hablan ahora de imponer tasas a los barcos que utilicen el paso vital. Eso podría contradecir un tratado que acabó con siglos de anarquía en alta mar.
