News Summary: International Tensions, Uruguayan Politics, and Health and Sports Updates
Internationally, the most relevant news is the announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. Both countries declared an end to direct hostilities following a series of attacks that occurred since last Sunday. Although the escalation of violence seems to have momentarily stopped due to pressure from the United States, the situation in the Middle East remains delicate, and both governments maintain their threats.
In Uruguay, national politics is highlighted by the drop in President Yamandú Orsi's approval rating. According to a recent regional ranking, the president's popularity fell for the second consecutive month, sitting below 40%. This figure places Orsi in a complicated position, very close to the six presidents with the lowest approval in all of Latin America.
On the other hand, the country faces social tensions due to trucker mobilizations at more than 40 points across the national territory. These protests sparked a heated verbal confrontation between National Party Senator Sebastián Da Silva and ruling party legislator Daniel Caggiani.

Regarding local football, the draw between Liverpool and Cerro Largo closed the fourth round of the Torneo Intermedio, leaving Deportivo Maldonado as the sole leader of the aggregate table.
