Pope Francis dead at 88, Vatican says
Pope Francis, Bishop of Rome and Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church, who worked to instill progressive influences on the global church while maintaining unity with conservatives amid years of turmoil, died Monday morning, Vatican camerlengo Cardinal Kevin Farrell announced.
He was 88 years old.
«Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and His Church,» Farrell announced.
«He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God.»
U.S. Vice President JD Vance had just met with the pope on Sunday.
«I just learned of the passing of Pope Francis. My heart goes out to the millions of Christians all over the world who loved him. I was happy to see him yesterday, though he was obviously very ill. But I’ll always remember him for the below homily he gave in the very early days of COVID. It was really quite beautiful. May God rest his soul,» Vance said early Monday morning in a post on X.

The pope preached frequently on the Catholic virtues of mercy, kindness and humility. He did not shy away from controversy, and American presidents, including Donald Trump and Joe Biden, were not immune from his views.
Less than a month into President Donald Trump’s presidency, the pontiff criticized the Republican’s plans for the mass deportations of migrants, stressing that the forceful removal of people simply for their immigration status deprives them of their inherent dignity and «will end badly.»
In a strongly worded letter to U.S. Catholic Bishops, the pope appeared to counter remarks made by Vice President JD Vance — who had recently converted to Catholicism — after he suggested Americans should care for family, communities and the country before caring about others.
«Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups,» the pontiff wrote. «Worrying about personal, community or national identity, apart from these considerations.»
POPE FRANCIS EXPOSES CONFIDENTIAL DETAILS ABOUT HIS ELECTION AND RELATIONSHIPS IN LENGTHY INTERVIEW

Pope Francis in 2015 became the first pontiff to ever address a Joint Meeting of Congress where he spoke on a range of topics including immigration, family, the death penalty, climate change, extremism, religious freedom and the refugee crisis.
He joined American bishops and urged American leaders to abolish capital punishment and said Congress has a «role to play» in addressing global warming.
In 2022 he questioned then President Biden’s conscience on abortion in an interview during which he described the commander-in-chief’s religious identity and views on abortion as incoherent. «A month after conception, the DNA of the fetus is already there and the organs are aligned. There is human life,» the pontiff said in the interview with Spanish-language outlet Univision.
He also weighed in on candidates Trump and Harris during the election campaign, where he bashed them both, saying, «Both are against life, be it the one who kicks out migrants, or be it the one who kills babies,″ he said, according to the Associated Press.
Just weeks before President Trump’s second inauguration, he appointed Cardinal Robert McElroy to be the Archbishop of Washington. McElroy had been critical of Trump’s immigration policies during his first term as president.
Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in 1936 to Italian immigrant parents in Argentina, Francis made history as the first pope from the Americas — as well as the first Jesuit to hold the office.
He was elected pope in 2013 after the almost unprecedented retirement of his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI.
Bergolio’s father, Mario, was an accountant for the railway industry, and his mother, Regina, was a homemaker and caregiver for her five children.

Throughout his early years, the future pope worked a number of menial jobs. He labored briefly in the stocking factory where his father was an accountant before moving on to other opportunities, including jobs as a bar bouncer and janitor.
He eventually sought a career as a chemical technician, receiving a diploma in chemistry from the secondary school Escuela Técnica Industrial N° 27 Hipólito Yrigoyen. He also worked briefly in a food laboratory. However, his career in chemistry was short-lived.
He entered the priesthood at the Diocesan Seminary of Villa Devoto in Argentina. Francis was ordained a priest in 1969 and made his final profession with the Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuits, in 1973. The same year, he was appointed as a provincial for the order.
His appointment as provincial was concurrent with the Dirty War, a period of intense state-led persecution of left-wing leaders and political dissidents. Bergolio experienced constant threats to his own safety as he worked to hide or aid in the escape of government targets, including many Catholic faithful.

During that time, two Jesuit priests under his supervision were disappeared by the government, drugged and left barely alive in a field five months after their kidnapping. Pope Francis has said he was forced to negotiate with the regime for their release.
Bergolio would spend the next two decades bouncing from position to position at the direction of his superiors. He served as a professor of theology, seminary instructor, rector, doctoral student and parish priest.
In 1992, Pope John Paul II appointed Bergolio as titular Bishop of Auca and as an auxiliary bishop of Buenos Aires. This was done at the request of Cardinal Antonio Quarracino, Archbishop of Buenos Aires, who consecrated him to the episcopacy.
Bergoglio proved vital to the nation’s Catholic community, and he was quickly raised to the dignity of Coadjutor Archbishop of Buenos Aires, serving alongside Quarracino and taking over the archdiocese entirely after his death the following year.
Bergoglio was given the crimson hat of a cardinal by Pope John Paul II in 2001.
In 2013, after the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, Bergoglio was elected to the papacy, selecting the pontifical name «Francis» after St. Francis of Assisi — a choice that set the tone for the rest of his papacy.
POPE DERIDES BIDEN’S ABORTION VIEWS, CATHOLIC SELF-IDENTITY AS ‘INCOHERENCE’

Pope Francis’s teachings as a priest, bishop, cardinal and pope were deeply influenced by his Jesuit vocation — viewing each person as a unique creation of God, with whom they can have a personal relationship. His ministry and leadership were committed to keeping doors open and making the church approachable to the public.
It was not only American politics that he had strong opinions of.
He faced criticism for specific remarks he made against Israel’s military operation in Gaza, calling the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian enclave «very serious and shameful.» During that same speech, he condemned the growth of antisemitism throughout the world, Reuters reported. He also called for an end to the war in Ukraine and expressed concerns over climate change.
In 2023, seemingly looking to strike a balance, he formally allowed Catholic priests to give same-sex couples a blessing, which was seen as being a radical shift in church policy, the Associated Press reported at the time.
Pope Francis is also remembered for living a life of intense simplicity, denying himself a lavish papal apartment in the Vatican upon his election, and opting instead for a two-room suite in the Domus Santa Marta, a residence built by Pope John Paul II.

In contrast to his immediate predecessors, Pope Francis eschewed ornate robes or luxurious clothing. His outfit rarely consisted of more than a plain, white cassock tied with a papal fascia.
Pope Francis even dressed down his Ring of the Fisherman — a piece of gold jewelry worn by popes to signify their office — by having it made with silver and only wearing it for ceremonies.
Francis’s tenure continued the ongoing efforts to investigate decades of sexual abuse claims against priests across the world, including in the United States, with Francis vowing transparency in 2019.
«Transparency is now being implemented at the highest level,» said Archbishop Charles Scicluna, the Archbishop of Malta and Adjunct Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, after Francis gave legal authorities access to documents about sexual abuse cases and abolished the «pontifical secret» of the cases.

He continued Benedict’s work to root malicious clerics out of the Church hierarchy «with the wrath of God,» appointing task forces and establishing victim aid groups.
Pope Francis proved frustrating for a wide variety of conservatives, liberals, traditionalists and progressives.
His gentle — at times vague and confusing — language on key social issues, such as sexuality and divorce, frustrated conservatives hoping for a more aggressive champion of Catholic moral teaching.
In July 2017, a group of Catholic clergy and academics sent Pope Francis a «Filial Correction» document alleging seven serious theological mistakes made by the pontiff in public statements. The document’s assertions proved controversial within the Catholic Church and the document was never explicitly addressed.
Conversely, his refusal to back down from traditional church teachings on abortion, gay marriage, women’s ordination and priestly celibacy frustrated progressives hoping for a more modern church.
Echoing his time as a prelate in Argentina, Pope Francis was at times criticized from both sides of the aisle for his heavy hand enforcing Catholic unity on national and international levels.
Traditionalists voiced intense opposition to his apostolic letter «Traditionis custodes,» which restricted the celebration of the traditional Latin mass in an attempt to squash increasingly separatist conservative movements within the Church.

He similarly shut down discussion of many social issues that progressives have sought to reform.
In 2019, Pope Francis told a nun asking him to approve the ordination of women that «if the Lord didn’t want a sacramental ministry for women, it can’t go forward,» adding, «We are Catholics, but if anyone wants to found another church they are free [to do so].»
The hyper-progressive leadership of the Catholic Church in Germany was a target of his ire after the country’s clerical leaders attempted an upheaval of traditional teachings regarding gender and sexuality. The Vatican issued a series of letters, approved by Pope Francis, accusing the German church of risking separation from the Catholic Communion.
The conflict with German bishops encapsulated his papacy’s recurring themes of authority and unity, best exemplified in a passage from his «Letter to the Pilgrim People of God in Germany.»

In the letter, Pope Francis wrote, «The universal Church lives in and of the particular Churches, just as the particular Churches live and flourish in and from the universal Church. If they find themselves separated from the entire ecclesial body, they weaken, rot and die. Hence, the need always to ensure that communion with the whole body of the Church is alive and effective.»
Pope Francis visited dozens of countries, including the United States and Cuba in 2015, and went as far afield as Papua New Guinea, as well as visits to predominantly Muslim countries including Egypt, Morocco and Jordan.
Pope Francis struggled with health complications throughout his reign.
The pontiff dealt for many years with sciatica, a nerve condition that caused immense pain in his leg and at times hindered his ability to walk.
In 2021, Pope Francis was hospitalized for an intestinal surgery that removed 13 inches of his colon.
In March 2023, Francis was again taken to the hospital after experiencing intense chest pain and difficulty breathing. He was treated for a respiratory infection and released after antibiotic treatment.

In June of the same year, the pope was brought back for another abdominal surgery to repair an incisional hernia. He was released after making a full recovery.
He took a fall at his residence and suffered a contusion on his right arm in January 2025.
In February, he was once again hospitalized after a bout of bronchitis.
Following Pope Francis’ death, the Vatican has entered a time of sede vacante — in English, «empty seat.»

Asesinó a sus padres para hacer una fiesta con 60 personas en su casa: el parricidio que conmocionó a EE.UU.
En la noche del 16 de julio de 2011, decenas de adolescentes llegaban a la casa de Tyler Hadley, un joven de 17 años que había organizado lo que él llamaba “la mejor fiesta de su vida”. La invitación era en una propiedad ubicada en la ciudad estadounidense de Port St. Lucie, en el estado de Florida.
Sin embargo, mientras el evento aparentaba ser normal, nadie se imaginaba que en ese mismo lugar se escondía un secreto macabro: el anfitrión había asesinado a sus padres horas antes y había dejado los cuerpos en su habitación.
Una noche que parecía normal
Tyler Hadley era un adolescente que tenía antedecentes de consumo de drogas, dificultades en la escuela y una relación conflictiva con sus padres, Blake y Mary-Jo Hadley. Por eso, ellos intentaban imponerle límites, como prohibirle salir de fiesta en algunas ocasiones y, principalmente, negarle la posibilidad de organizar una en su propia casa.
Sin embargo, Tyler tenía otros planes y decidió desafiarlos. Durante la tarde de ese 16 de julio, comenzó a invitar a amigos y conocidos a través de mensajes de texto y redes sociales. Les dijo que sus padres no estaban en casa esa noche y que podían ir sin problema. Rápidamente, la convocatoria escaló a 60 jóvenes aproximadamente.
Para muchos, era una oportunidad ideal: una casa sin adultos, música, alcohol y libertad total.

Antes de enviar las invitaciones, Tyler había tomado una decisión extrema. Según se reconstruyó después, asesinó a sus padres para poder realizar el evento, ya que sabía que ellos no lo dejarían hacerlo. Si bien todo había comenzado como “un chiste”, la realidad es que había planeado todo durante meses. Finalmente, esa macabra idea culminó en haberlos golpeado hasta la muerte con un martillo.
Luego, en un intento de ocultar el crimen, arrastró los cuerpos hasta su habitación y los tapó con distintos objetos y mantas para evitar que alguien los viera. Después, cerró la puerta con llave, decidido a que nadie descubriera lo que había hecho. Al menos no esa noche.
Tras el crimen, limpió las manchas de sangre de la escena, se cambió de ropa y comenzó a preparar la casa para la fiesta. Movió muebles, compró bebidas alcohólicas y snacks, y esperó a que empezaran a llegar los invitados.
Horas después, llegaron alrededor de 60 personas que pasearon por la casa toda la noche. Algunos notaron que había zonas que estaban restringidas o puertas cerradas, pero nadie imaginó la razón. Tyler, mientras tanto, saludaba y charlaba con sus amigos y trataba de mantener un clima de normalidad.

En un momento de la noche, incluso le confesó a un amigo cercano, Michael Mandell, lo que había hecho. Pero el comentario fue tomado como un chiste y no le dio la seriedad suficiente.
La situación empezó a cambiar cuando ese mismo amigo, con el correr de las horas, comenzó a dudar. Algo en la actitud de Tyler era extraño y no cerraba. Todo cambió cuando se dirigió a la habitación de los padres de Hadley y descubrió lo que el joven había hecho. Sin dudarlo, se fue de la fiesta y, afuera de la casa, contactó a la policía.
Cuandos los agentes llegaron al lugar, la fiesta seguía. Había decenas de adolescentes afuera y dentro de la casa. Tyler se mostró tranquilo y aseguró que sus padres se habían ido de viaje.
Sin embargo, los oficiales decidieron inspeccionar la propiedad. En un primer momento, no encontraron nada evidente. Pero la insistencia y la información aportada por Mandell hicieron que profundizaran la revisión.
Finalmente, al ingresar al dormitorio principal descubrieron la escena que Tyler había intentado ocultar. Los cuerpos de Blake y Mary-Jo estaban ahí, totalmente masacrados.
Tyler fue detenido en el lugar y los efectivos desalojaron a los invitados para iniciar las primeras pericias sobre el crimen.
La confesión
Tras su detención, Tyler Hadley terminó confesando el parricidio: explicó que lo había hecho porque quería organizar una fiesta y sabía que sus padres no se lo iban a permitir. También reconoció que había planeado el ataque con anticipación.
Los investigadores encontraron varias pruebas que respaldaban la acusación. Entre ellas, el martillo, rastros de sangre en distintas partes de la casa y testimonios de algunos de los jóvenes que fueron a la fiesta. Muchos de ellos dijeron que Tyler actuaba de manera extraña, aunque no lo suficiente como para sospechar un hecho de tal magnitud. Tyler Hadley confesó el parricidio en cuanto fue detenido.

De esta manera, el caso avanzó rápidamente en la Justicia y conmocionó a la sociedad estadounidense en cuanto se dio a conocer.
Hadley fue acusado de dos cargos de homicidio en primer grado. Durante el proceso judicial, la fiscalía sostuvo que el crimen había sido premeditado y que el móvil estaba directamente vinculado a su deseo de hacer la fiesta.
La defensa intentó argumentar que el joven tenía problemas de salud mental y que su capacidad de comprender la gravedad de sus actos estaba afectada. Sin embargo, el jurado consideró que las pruebas eran contundentes.

En 2014, Tyler Hadley fue declarado culpable y condenado a cadena perpetua sin posibilidad de libertad condicional.
El año pasado, Hadley, que ya tiene 31 años, dio una entrevista en donde se mostró arrepentido por el crimen de sus padres: “Quisiera volver el tiempo atrás y simplemente no hacerlo. No espero que me crean, pero no tengo idea por qué lo hice; quizás quise detener su dolor y el mío, y nunca más volví a tener ideas violentas”.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Voters are not only dissatisfied with the direction of the country but also pessimistic about the economic outlook, financially strained in their own lives and unconvinced Washington leaders are in touch or will offer solutions.
That’s according to a new Fox News national survey released Thursday.
Nearly two-thirds, 64%, are dissatisfied with how things are going in the U.S.
While that’s the highest dissatisfaction rating of President Trump’s second term, it’s also a small improvement from the 68% who were unhappy at the end of the Biden administration in December 2024.
FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS OPPOSE ACTION IN IRAN BUT GIVE US MILITARY POSITIVE MARKS
At the same time, majorities say national leaders are out of touch with people like them. Six in 10 voters say the White House is out of touch (60%), and similar shares say the same about congressional Republicans (61%) and congressional Democrats (58%).
A quarter of both Democrats and Republicans think their respective party’s lawmakers are out of touch. Half of non-MAGA Republicans say the White House is out of touch.
FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS EXPECT AI TO TRANSFORM OUR LIVES — BUT TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY
Trump receives negative marks across issues. His worst numbers are on inflation, with a new low of 28% approving. That’s down 7 points since January and 12 points since March 2025.
His 34% approval for the economy is another new low, down 6 points since January and 9 points from a year ago. Other ratings are also well underwater: healthcare (36 approve, 64 disapprove), Iran (36-64), taxes (36-64), foreign policy (38-62), and immigration (44-56). His best issue is border security (50-50), where equal numbers approve and disapprove.
The president’s overall job rating stands at 41% approve and 59% disapprove. Former President Obama had similar ratings at a comparable point in his second term, 40%-53% in March 2014.
Trump’s 59% disapproval is the highest of either term. Last month, 43% approved and 57% disapproved. A year ago, views were nearly evenly divided, 49-51%.
Current approval of Trump among Republicans is 84%, a second-term low (down from 92% last March), while disapproval has reached a high of 16%. Approval among non-MAGA Republicans dropped 11 points over the past year (70% to 59%). MAGA Republicans remain nearly unanimous with 97% approval, little changed from 98% a year ago. Fully 95% of Democrats disapprove, tying a record high this term. Independents are also negative, 75% disapprove.
The economy remains central to dissatisfaction. Large numbers of Democrats (91%) and independents (90%) rate it negatively, as do more than half of Republicans (52%).
Overall, 75% of voters say the economy is in bad shape, up 4 points since last month (71%). The number giving the economy negative marks has ranged from 67% to 79% since Trump took office in January 2025.
Personal financial assessments are similarly downbeat, with nearly half, 46%, saying they are falling behind. That’s up from 44% in December and just one point below the record high of 47% in June 2022.
That strain is reflected by 61% saying they could not miss more than two paychecks and still pay their bills. That’s up from 54% in both 2023 and 2019.
Two years ago, 17% lived paycheck-to-paycheck. Now, 27% say they couldn’t miss even one payday. That number climbs to 37% for those with annual household income below $50,000.
Neither major party has convinced voters it has a clear plan to address costs. Some 68% say the Democratic Party lacks a clear plan for bringing prices down, while 70% say the same about the GOP. More than 4 in 10 say neither party has a plan. Equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans, 59%, say their respective party has a clear plan.
«The issue environment in 2026 has almost completely flipped from 2022 and 2024,» says Daron Shaw, a Republican who conducts the survey with Democrat Chris Anderson. «Voters don’t think either side has a plan, of course, but since the GOP is in charge, they shoulder the blame.»
To top things off, voters don’t see the economy getting better anytime soon. A 53% majority anticipates economic conditions will worsen in the next year, up from 45% in January and more than double the share who see improvement (25%).
Republicans are alone in their optimism, expecting the economy to improve by a 19-point margin. Both independents (by 44 points) and Democrats (by 68 points) see the economy declining next year by wide margins.
Concerns about the economy — day-to-day costs in particular — top the list of what worries voters most. A large majority of 86% is concerned about inflation and high prices, including 57% who are extremely concerned. Around 8 in 10 express concerns about healthcare (81%), gas prices (80%), and political divisions in the country (80%).
Seven in ten or more are worried about unemployment (73%), potential attacks in the United States (73% by Islamic terrorists and 70% non-Islamic terrorists) and their ability to pay their bills (70%). Concern also extends to gun violence (69%), Iran obtaining nukes (66%), AI technology (66%), antisemitism (63%) and detentions and deportations by ICE (62%).
Inflation is the top concern for Democrats, Republicans and independents. Healthcare is second for Democrats and independents, while Islamic terrorist attacks are second for Republicans. There is a consensus that political divisions within the country are a problem, with most Democrats (85%), Republicans (80%), and independents (70%) expressing concern.
Worry about gas prices is widespread, with about 8 in 10 across all income levels — including $100,000 and above — saying they are concerned.

Sixty-nine percent of voters support birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal immigrants. That’s up from 67% in 2025 and from 45% when Fox News first asked the question in 2006. Current support stands at 91% among Democrats, 75% among independents and 44% among Republicans. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a birthright citizenship case April 1.
Conducted March 20-23, 2026, under the direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News survey includes interviews with a sample of 1,001 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (104) and cellphones (641) or completed the survey online after receiving a text (256). Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of ±3 percentage points. Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher. In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education and area variables to ensure the demographics are representative of the registered voter population. Sources for developing weight targets include the most recent American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis, and voter file data.

EN VIVO: Israel atacó el principal centro de producción de misiles y minas navales del régimen iraní
El secretario de Estado de Estados Unidos, Marco Rubio, participa este viernes en Francia de la reunión de cancilleres del Grupo de los Siete (G7). Antes de embarcar hacia la capital francesa, el funcionario subrayó la relevancia estratégica del Estrecho de Ormuz, afectado por la escalada militar. “Los demás países obtienen mucho más combustible de ahí que nosotros”, señaló.
Abbas Araqchi, ministro de Exteriores de la república islámica, afirmó en una conversación telefónica con el secretario general de la ONU, Antonio Guterres, que mantener el bloqueo en el estrecho de Ormuz al paso de buques vinculados a “enemigos” constituye un “derecho legal” del país.
Por su parte, el Ejército de Israel afirmó, en medio de su ofensiva contra el grupo terrorista Hezbollah, que necesita incrementar su número de soldados en el frente con Líbano. Las Fuerzas de Defensa anunciaron ataques a “gran escala” contra el corazón de Teherán, en especial contra la infraestructura del régimen iraní.
En paralelo, Irán no cesa con su presión contra los países del Golfo: Kuwait derribó dos drones en diferentes zonas del país y el Ministerio de Defensa de Arabia Saudí comunicó durante la noche varios ataques en la región oriental y la intercepción de seis drones.
A continuación, la cobertura minuto a minuto:
Los líderes de línea dura de Irán toman el control: quiénes son los funcionarios que asumieron en plena guerra
El liderazgo supremo recayó en Mojtaba Khamenei, la Guardia Revolucionaria reforzó su control y el presidente Pezeshkian se mantiene en el cargo, aunque con atribuciones limitadas frente a las instituciones militares
La muerte del ex líder supremo iraní Ali Khamenei y otros altos funcionarios tras los ataques conjuntos de Estados Unidos e Israel provocó una reconfiguración veloz del poder en Teherán. Pese a la conmoción, las instituciones clave lograron mantener su operatividad, proyectando la imagen de un sistema que resiste los embates externos y asegura la continuidad.
El régimen iraní instó a civiles en Medio Oriente a abandonar zonas cercanas a las fuerzas estadounidenses
La Guardia Revolucionaria de Irán instó a los civiles de toda la región a mantenerse alejados de las zonas cercanas a las fuerzas estadounidenses ante nuevos ataques en la región, casi un mes después del inicio de la guerra con Estados Unidos e Israel.
“Las cobardes fuerzas estadounidenses-sionistas… están intentando utilizar lugares civiles y personas inocentes como escudos humanos”, sostuvo la Guardia en un comunicado difundido en su sitio web Sepah News.
El cuerpo militar instó a la población abandonar urgentemente las áreas donde se encuentran desplegadas fuerzas estadounidenses para evitar cualquier daño en medio de un nuevo ataque en Medio Oriente.
Las bolsas europeas muestran una actividad moderada
Las bolsas europeas registraron fluctuaciones el viernes mientras los inversores evaluaban el posible impacto de la prórroga de 10 días concedida por el presidente estadounidense Donald Trump para que Irán reabra el estrecho de Ormuz.
El índice regional Stoxx Europe 600 se mantuvo prácticamente sin cambios, mientras que el índice de referencia londinense FTSE 100 abrió con un incremento del 0,4%.
Los precios del petróleo registraron una segunda jornada consecutiva al alza este viernes, con el Brent subiendo un 1,3% y situándose cerca de los 110 dólares por barril.
Por otra parte, las bolsas asiáticas cerraron en su mayoría a la baja el viernes y el petróleo volvió a subir, tras una jornada en la que Wall Street registró su peor desempeño desde el inicio de la guerra con Irán, en medio de crecientes dudas sobre una posible desescalada.
El Nikkei 225 de Tokio retrocedió un 0,4% y cerró en 53.373,07 puntos. El Kospi de Corea del Sur también perdió un 0,4%, situándose en 5.438,87 puntos. El Hang Seng de Hong Kong subió un 0,4% hasta 24.952,98 puntos tras haber caído a primera hora, mientras que el índice compuesto de Shanghái avanzó un 0,6% hasta 3.913,72 puntos.

Marco Rubio se reúne en París con cancilleres del G7 en busca de apoyo a la estrategia de Washington en la guerra contra Irán
El secretario de Estado de EEUU viajó a Francia con una posición clara: los socios occidentales deben implicarse en la reapertura del Estrecho de Ormuz, bloqueado por Teherán, cuyo cierre disparó los precios de la energía a nivel global
El secretario de Estado de Estados Unidos, Marco Rubio, participa este viernes en Francia de la reunión de cancilleres del Grupo de los Siete (G7), que se celebra en la Abadía de Vaux-de-Cernay, en un contexto de crecientes tensiones entre Washington y sus aliados por la ofensiva militar contra Irán y su impacto en el mercado energético global.
Asia se asfixia entre los precios del petróleo y el dólar
Desde la India hasta el sudeste asiático y Corea del Sur, las monedas se están desmoronando mientras los gobiernos se apresuran a conseguir combustible cuyo precio se fija en dólares estadounidenses

La crisis en Medio Oriente obliga a los gobiernos regionales a buscar el delicado balance entre comprar combustible en dólares y trasladar lo menos posible el incremento de precios a la población. En toda Asia, los países que ya eran vulnerables a la interrupción sostenida de los suministros energéticos procedentes del golfo Pérsico se enfrentan ahora a un ominoso efecto secundario. Sus divisas están siendo asfixiadas por un dólar cuyo valor aumenta.
La guerra en Irán: el estrecho de Ormuz como pieza estratégica clave y otros sistemas de armamento más utilizados
El conflicto bélico ha evidenciado que las rutas energéticas, y no solo la superioridad armamentística, pueden inclinar la balanza en un enfrentamiento contemporáneo
El bloqueo del estrecho de Ormuz ha transformado el escenario bélico en Medio Oriente desde el 28 de febrero. La interrupción de este corredor, por donde transita el 20% del crudo global, ha provocado una alteración notable en el mercado energético, elevando los precios del petróleo, el gas natural y los fertilizantes, y afectando las cadenas de suministro a escala mundial.

La Fuerza Aérea de Israel, bajo la dirección de la Inteligencia Militar y el Departamento de Inteligencia de la Armada, atacó el principal centro de producción de misiles y minas navales del régimen iraní en la ciudad de Yazd.
Según las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel (FDI), el centro se utilizaba para la planificación, desarrollo, ensamblaje y almacenamiento de misiles avanzados destinados a su lanzamiento desde cruceros, submarinos y helicópteros contra objetivos navales móviles y fijos.
El reporte vía X señaló que en ese centro se desarrollaba la mayor parte de los misiles y minas navales de las fuerzas navales iraníes. El ataque, sumado a la eliminación de la cúpula de la Armada de la Guardia Revolucionaria, representa un fuerte golpe a la capacidad productiva de las fuerzas navales iraníes.
