«A crise mais grave das últimas décadas foi a invasão americana do Iraque em 2003»

"The most serious crisis of recent decades was the American invasion of Iraq in 2003." Afonso Moura spoke on NOW about the United States' attacks on Iran and Donald Trump's motivations. He argued that the American president acts erratically and feels frustrated with the lack of progress in negotiations, while, in contrast, the Iranian regime demonstrates resilience. "Iran feels confident, it has a very strong weapon which is the Strait of Hormuz," he stressed, referring to the closure of this strategic passage for international navigation. The discussion also addresses China's position, which calls for moderation to protect its commercial interests, although Iran acts independently and not as a mere extension of Beijing. The complexity of the conflict is deepened with a historical perspective on the region. Afonso Moura recalls that "the most serious crisis of recent decades was the American invasion of Iraq in 2003," an event that destabilized the balance of power and allowed the expansion of Iranian influence through Shiite militias. #MiddleEast #Iran #UnitedStates #DonaldTrump #StraitOfHormuz #Geopolitics #ArmedConflict #China #Iraq #Diplomacy #InternationalRelations #GlobalSecurity #Ceasefire #InternationalPolitics #GlobalTensions #War
