Global Flashpoints: Costa Rica Shifts Right, Iran Faces US Deadline

Laura Fernández of the Sovereign People party won Costa Rica's presidential election in a landslide victory, marking a shift to the right in Latin American politics, according to The Guardian. The right-wing populist secured the presidency after campaigning on a platform of cracking down on rising violence linked to the cocaine trade.

Fernández's nearest rival, center-right economist Álvaro Ramos, conceded defeat as the results became clear, The Guardian reported. The election took place on Sunday.

In other international news, tensions remained high between the United States and Iran, with the next week potentially determining whether the two nations head towards conflict or a diplomatic breakthrough, according to Sky News. Dominic Waghorn, International Affairs Editor at Sky News, reported that "It's make or break this week for averting war between America and Iran." President Trump reportedly believes Iran is in a difficult position and can only resolve it by making a deal with the U.S.

Meanwhile, Cuba and the United States are in communication, though formal dialogue has not yet begun, Al Jazeera reported. Carlos Fernandez de Cossio, Cuba's deputy foreign minister, told Reuters that the U.S. government is aware that Cuba is ready for "a serious, meaningful and responsible dialogue." This comes as the Trump administration has increased pressure on Havana amid a crippling economic crisis on the island.

The Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt reopened, but only allowed five injured Palestinians to leave Gaza for medical treatment on Monday, Al Jazeera reported. Maram Humaid of Al Jazeera stated that hundreds, if not thousands, of others were forced to wait.

In sports news, FIFA boss Gianni Infantino apologized to British football fans for a joke he made last month, Sky News reported. Infantino suffered a backlash after joking that: "For the first time in history... no Brit was arrested during a World Cup. Imagine!" The Football Supporters' Association criticized the comment as a "cheap joke."
