13.01.2026The Day Trump Incited the Iranian Revolt
The editorial morning in Spain was dominated by the immediate fallout of the Supercopa loss, with the dismissal of Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso and the appointment of Álvaro Arbeloa capturing the sports and mainstream desks. Simultaneously, the housing decree introduced the previous day triggered a sharp domestic fracture; progressive outlets and Sumar criticized Pedro Sánchez for excluding them from negotiations, while conservative editors framed the move as a desperate survival tactic.
By midday, attention shifted to the diplomatic friction between Sánchez and opposition leader Feijóo over the proposed deployment of troops to Ukraine, with the PP demanding a parliamentary vote on the strategy. However, the international desk eventually overrode domestic concerns as the crisis in Iran escalated. Editors prioritized reports of a rising death toll, reaching an estimated 2,000 casualties. By evening, headlines centered on Donald Trump’s direct intervention, as he encouraged protesters to seize institutions and promised that "help is on the way," signaling a sharp break in international diplomacy.
