US-Israel strikes on Iran enter second month
The United States and Israel have been conducting joint military strikes against Iran for roughly two months, with no clear resolution in sight. Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz have intensified as the conflict settles into a prolonged stalemate. The Trump administration's approach has drawn criticism for inconsistency, while Iran's population and regional neighbours bear the practical consequences of sustained military pressure.
"The war has become entrenched at Hormuz after two months of erratic strategy."

European automakers, already navigating a difficult market, now face significantly higher costs to access the US market, and EU trade officials are expected to respond.

FAO warns Hormuz closure threatens global food supply
Máximo Torero, chief economist at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, has warned that a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz could trigger a global food crisis. The strait is a critical route for fertilizer shipments and food imports serving populations across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Disruption to fertilizer supply would affect planting cycles and harvests well beyond the immediate conflict period.
"We are heading toward a food crisis if Hormuz does not reopen soon."

US to pull 5,000 troops from Germany
The United States plans to withdraw around 5,000 soldiers from Germany, reducing its European troop presence to levels not seen since before Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The move, directed by the Trump administration, raises concerns among NATO allies who have relied on the expanded US forward deployment as a deterrent. No formal announcement has been made about where the withdrawn forces will be reassigned.
"The withdrawal would leave US troops in Europe at pre-Ukraine war levels."

Ukraine Expands Drone Range, Soldiers Remain Exhausted
Ukraine has revealed a drone programme capable of striking targets up to 2,000 kilometres away, killing thousands of Russian soldiers each month according to officials. The disclosure comes alongside ongoing pressure on President Zelensky to address army reform and demobilisation, as soldiers who have served since the war's start report exhaustion and inadequate conditions. The military capability gap between drone innovation and troop welfare remains a central tension in Ukraine's war effort.
"We can reach targets at 2,000 kilometres."

US tightens Cuba sanctions on currency and travel
The Trump administration has expanded sanctions against Cuba, restricting foreign currency access and travel for those doing business with the Cuban government. The measures were announced as Cubans marked May Day with official marches denouncing US policy. The Cuban government called the moves an act of aggression. The tightened restrictions follow a broader pattern of pressure Washington has applied to Havana across successive administrations.
"Washington blocks currency and travel for anyone negotiating with the regime."

Andalusia votes on PP majority without Vox
Andalusian voters go to the polls on 18 May 2026 to decide whether regional president Juanma Moreno can secure an outright majority for the Partido Popular, or whether he will remain dependent on Vox to govern. Moreno has led the regional government since 2018 and is seeking to consolidate power without the far-right party's support. The result will be read as a signal for the broader balance of the Spanish right.
"Andalusians will decide whether the PP continues to depend on Vox or not."

Spain leads EU in child poverty rate
Spain recorded the highest child poverty rate in the European Union in 2025, with 28.4% of minors at risk, according to figures cited by Spanish outlets. More than 300,000 additional children have entered poverty risk during Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's tenure. The figure places Spain ahead of all other EU member states on this measure, raising questions about the effectiveness of existing social support programmes.
"España vuelve a registrar en 2025 la tasa de pobreza infantil más elevada de la UE con un 28,4%."
