English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
The signing of peace has landed like a bombshell, yet the mainstream press insists on portraying it as a defeat. The facts, however, suggest that Iran, Venezuela and Cuba are giving way one way or another. Is Trump a loser or an underrated strategist? The answer is not that simple.
The Iran deal: real concession or mirage?
Iran has reportedly abandoned its nuclear program, an unprecedented success for the U.S. But the 2026 deadline comes after years of sabotage —Stuxnet in 2010, assassinations of scientists— that cast doubt on Iran's actual capabilities. Some analysts argue the regime was never close to the bomb. The lingering question is: did they yield to pressure, or was the program a bluff?
Venezuela and Cuba: transitions without civil war
In Venezuela, a Spain-style transition —without civil war— has accelerated. Cuba, for the first time in decades, feels change is near. Five years ago, this would have been science fiction. Still, skepticism persists: are these real concessions or tactical moves by regimes on the brink of collapse?
The media narrative: Trump, the perpetual laughingstock
While the press portrays him as a laughingstock, in the Middle East some see a napkin peace. The irony is that, if the agreements hold, Trump will have achieved in a single term what his predecessors failed to accomplish in decades. The verdict will come in two or three years, when we see whether the stratagems work or not.
