The U.S.-Iran conflict is no longer merely a diplomatic crisis: mass flight cancellations and warnings about jet fuel reserves show that its effects are reaching the daily lives of ordinary Europeans.
Iranian expert warns Trump has reached his limits with Iran and that any deal would represent a strategic concession by the U.S.
Vali Nasr, professor at Johns Hopkins University and former adviser to President Obama, argues in a piece published by the newspaper El País that Trump's maximum pressure strategy — war, intimidation, and tariffs — has hit a ceiling against Iran. After 40 days of conflict without a decisive victory, Trump has only two options: a massive air campaign or a negotiated agreement. Nasr warns that such a deal is not equivalent to dictating terms: it means Washington asked to sit down and negotiate, which in itself represents a reduction of its global strategic standing, comparable to Britain's decline following the Suez Canal crisis in 1956.
The consequences are already tangible. The International Energy Agency warned that Europe has barely six weeks of jet fuel reserves as a result of disruptions caused by the conflict. Dutch airline KLM, operating from Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport — one of Europe's largest transit hubs — cancelled 160 flights due to fuel shortages. U.S.-Iran negotiations are set to continue in Pakistan this weekend.
"Trump's assumption that the United States can get its way through war, intimidation, or tariffs has reached its limit with Iran."

Milei's approval ratings began falling before the Adorni scandal, driven by economic pressures concentrated in greater Buenos Aires
An analysis published in Infobae by journalist Ana Iparaguirre argues that the erosion of President Javier Milei's approval ratings predates the scandal involving government spokesman Manuel Adorni and stems from structural economic causes, not the episode itself. The Di Tella University government confidence index has recorded three consecutive months of decline — 2.8 points in January, 0.6 in February, and 3.5 in March — with a cumulative contraction of 6.5% since late 2025. The drop is significantly more pronounced in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area than in the country's interior.
The explanation is geographic and sectoral: the industries thriving under Milei's model — mining, energy, and agriculture — generate employment in sparsely populated provinces, while manufacturing, retail, and services, which account for most jobs in greater Buenos Aires, are in decline. According to surveys cited by Iparaguirre, low wages and loss of purchasing power top Argentines' concerns at up to 47%, pushing inflation — historically the government's flagship issue — down to seventh place.
"Adorni may be deafening noise, but the signal is the economy."
Argentina negotiates World Bank guarantees of up to $10 billion to issue debt ahead of $27 billion in maturities due in 2027
Argentine Economy Minister Luis Caputo is negotiating World Bank guarantees in Washington to back a potential sovereign bond issuance. According to press reports cited in the broadcast, the institution has confirmed guarantees of $2 billion — subject to board approval — within a negotiating framework that could reach $3 billion. At the same time, reports emerged that the government is considering issuing a bond of up to $10 billion with explicit World Bank backing.
The goal is to lower the interest rate at which Argentina can borrow on international markets, where country risk remains very high. The stakes are urgent: the country faces $9 billion in debt maturities in 2026 and $27 billion in 2027. Wall Street, according to sources consulted by the Argentine press, responded to the announcement with caution.
Sudan marks three years of war involving Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iran, Russia, and China, threatening Red Sea stability
April 15 marked three years since the outbreak of war between Sudanese generals Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, head of the regular armed forces, and Mohamed Dagalo, commander of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The conflict, rooted in decades of civil wars between the Muslim north and Christian south, the dictatorship of Omar al-Bashir, and the failed democratic transition of 2019, is fought primarily in the Darfur region and is considered, by number of casualties, the largest armed conflict in the world today. Egypt and Saudi Arabia operate behind al-Burhan; the United Arab Emirates backs Dagalo. Iran, Russia, and China are also supplying arms to the warring parties.
The conflict carries global geopolitical weight due to Sudan's geography: the country has a coastline on the Red Sea, the same commercial route already threatened from the south by Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen. If the Sudanese conflict expands, maritime traffic unable to pass through the Strait of Hormuz would also find the Red Sea route to the Suez Canal blocked, simultaneously shutting down the two great corridors of world trade.
"It is the biggest war in the world today. In terms of victims, of the dead, of those massacred, of those mutilated, of women raped, of children killed, and of people displaced, it is 100 times the Gaza Strip."

Child poverty in Argentina falls 24.8 points from its peak of 66%, but persistent inflation threatens to reverse the gains
According to data from INDEC released by the Libertad y Progreso foundation, poverty among children under 14 in Argentina dropped 24.8 percentage points from its peak of 66% recorded in June 2024, falling to 41.3% by mid-December 2025. The figure reflects sustained improvement, though four out of every ten Argentine children still live below the poverty line.
The progress comes alongside signs of fragility. Inflation has proven stubborn, which could slow or reverse the trend. At the same time, data on wage agreements show that only three unions — oilseed workers, building superintendents, and transport workers — secured wage increases above inflation between February 2025 and February 2026, while the rest fell behind. The combination of persistent inflation and deteriorating real wages across broad segments of the formal labor market poses a concrete risk to the consolidation of poverty reduction gains.
Milei calls Iran 'Argentina's enemy' and praises Netanyahu and Trump in messianic terms in interview with Israeli outlet
President Javier Milei gave an interview to an Israeli media outlet in which he declared that Iran is an enemy of Argentina and that the Iranian regime seeks the extermination of Israel. In the same statement, he added: "We must thank the Creator for having leaders of the stature of Netanyahu and Trump" — a formulation with a messianic tone that fits what the program itself describes as a growing tendency to merge politics and religion in the discourse of several world leaders.
Milei's remarks coincided with two major diplomatic developments: Trump announced a provisional ten-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon — which was partially violated within hours of the announcement — and confirmed that negotiations with Iran would take place in Pakistan this weekend, with the possibility of attending in person. Trump himself stated that relations with Iran are currently "very good," in one of the most abrupt reversals of a week laden with diplomatic contradictions.
"We must thank the Creator for having leaders of the stature of Netanyahu and Trump."
