Líder supremo do Irã anuncia 'nova fase' para o Estreito de Ormuz, diz TV estatal

Mojtaba Khamenei, novo líder supremo do Irã, aparece em uma transmissão da TV estatal iraniana. Jornal Nacional/ Reprodução O líder supremo do Irã, Mojtaba Khamenei, declarou nesta quinta-feira (9) que a gestão do Estreito de Ormuz entrará em uma "nova fase" após a guerra com os Estados Unidos, segundo a TV estatal iraniana. A TV leu uma declaração atribuída a Khamenei que afirma ainda que o Irã "não abrirá mão de seus direitos" buscará recompensas aos prejuízos causados pelos ataques dos EUA e de Israel a seu país e prometeu vingança pela morte de seu pai, Ali Khamenei, o ex-líder supremo do país. ✅ Siga o canal de notícias internacionais do g1 no WhatsApp AO VIVO: Acompanhe as últimas notícias da guerra "Exigiremos certamente a reparação por cada dano causado, o resgate pelo sangue dos mártires e a indenização pelos feridos desta guerra. E certamente levaremos a gestão do Estreito de Ormuz a um novo estágio", declarou Khamenei, segundo a TV estatal. O novo líder supremo não especificou as mudanças que pretende aplicar na gestão do Estreito de Ormuz. Na quarta-feira (8), membros do governo iraniano disseram à imprensa dos EUA que Teerã pretende passar a cobrar uma espécie de "pedágio" a navios que atravessem o estreito. Em uma postagem em suas redes sociais também nesta quinta, Khamenei incitou ainda à população iraniana que se manifeste contra "o inimigo". Ele pediu que iranianos permaneçam nas ruas apesar "de negociações com o inimigo". Segundo a TV estatal, Khamenei também cobrou apoio dos países vizinhos do Golfo Pérsico, alvos constantes de ataques do Irã. Pediu "aos vizinhos do sul", em referência aos países que mantêm parcerias militares e estratégicas com os EUA, que se afastem "dos demônios desconfiados". "Aos vizinhos do sul do Irã, eu digo: vocês estão presenciando um milagre, então vejam direito, compreendam e se posicionem no lugar correto, e sejam céticos em relação às promessas falsas dos demônios desconfiados. Ainda estamos esperando uma reação apropriada da parte de vocês para que possamos demonstrar nossa fraternidade e benevolência; isso só acontecerá com o afastamento de vocês dos arrogantes. 👉 Esta foi a primeira declaração atribuída ao novo líder supremo iraniano desde anúncio do cessar-fogo entre EUA e Israel. Khamenei também não foi visto nem em público nem em pronunciamentos televisionados desde que assumiu o cargo após seu pai ser morto em um dos ataques ao Teerã, no início da guerra. "Aos vizinhos do sul do Irã, eu digo: vocês estão presenciando um milagre, então vejam direito, compreendam e se posicionem no lugar correto, e sejam céticos em relação às promessas falsas dos demônios desconfiado".

The Iran war is a warning: Britain must build resilience – at home and with our allies in Europe | Keir Starmer

We should not be at the mercy of events abroad. That’s why, from energy to defence to key social policies, we aim to remake our country

• Israel’s attacks on Lebanon should not be happening, says Keir Starmer

Britain has been buffeted by crises for nearly two decades now. And from the 2008 financial crash, through austerity, to Brexit, Covid, the Ukraine war and Liz Truss, the response from Westminster has always been the same. Manage the crisis, find a sticking plaster and then desperately try to reassert the status quo.

This time, it will be different. The war in Iran must now become a line in the sand, because how we emerge from this crisis will define all of us for a generation. And instead of hoping to return to the world of 2008, we will forge a new path for Britain – one that strengthens our energy, our defence and our economic security in a new age. Because the reality is the world has changed: no longer do we live in the benign conditions found during the early part of this century. The world today is more volatile and dangerous than at any other point in my lifetime. That will test and test again every element of our security. And over the years, that is a test for which Britain has too often been found wanting.

Keir Starmer is the UK prime minister

The Guardian view on Hungary’s election: a bellwether contest for the global far right | Editorial

Defeat for Viktor Orbán on Sunday would be celebrated in Brussels, mourned in Washington and Moscow, and would give his country its democracy back

Hungary has a population of less than 10 million and an economy that produces a modest 1.1% of the European Union’s GDP. But on Sunday it will hold the most important election in Europe this year. After 16 years as prime minister, during which he has dismantled the checks and balances customary in a democracy, Viktor Orbán faces the most serious threat to his power in that time. Polls consistently place the centre‑right party led by his main challenger, Péter Magyar, ahead by a substantial margin.

Mr Orbán was once described by Donald Trump’s former adviser Steve Bannon as “Trump before Trump”. In his political hour of need, luminaries of the global far right have duly turned up en masse to support him. Last month, Marine Le Pen, Matteo Salvini and Geert Wilders made the pilgrimage to Budapest. This week, the US vice-president, JD Vance, paid a tub‑thumping election-eve visit, as his boss issued apocalyptic threats to have Iran “taken out in one night”. Risibly, given the explicit purpose of his trip, Mr Vance spent much of it inveighing against alleged EU interference in the forthcoming vote.

Helen DeWitt turns down $175k Windham-Campbell prize over promotional requirements

The novelist says she couldn’t accept the award after being told it would entail ‘extensive promotion’

US writer Helen DeWitt has spoken out after being chosen as one of the original eight recipients of this year’s Windham-Campbell writing prizes, worth $175,000 (£130,000) each, but ultimately having to turn down the award because she was unable to participate in the promotional activities that the prize requires.

In a blog and a series of posts on X, the cult author of books including The Last Samurai said that she had been told she had won the award in February, but that receiving the money was “contingent on extensive promotion”, including participating in a festival, a podcast and a six- to eight-hour filming session for a promotional video.
