Editorial: El Mundo

• The agreement between the United States and Iran is a strategic capitulation by Donald Trump that reinforces the Iranian regime.
• The pact rests on quantifiable concessions from the United States, while Iran's obligations remain vaguely formulated.
• Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz stabilizes international energy trade but provides Iran with an unsettling influence.
• Trump is chaotically reorganizing the global board with a 'NATO 3.0' that will review the US military presence in Europe.
• An erosion of the Alliance is very dangerous in a volatile phase of the war in Ukraine.

Conclusion: Both Trump's concessions to Iran and his questioning of NATO weaken the West at a critical time of autocratic assault on the liberal democratic order. Europe is obliged to act with unity and firmness in defense of its values and its very survival.
