Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has unequivocally stated his government's position amidst the escalating Middle East crisis, declaring "no to war." Sánchez addressed the media to clarify Spain's stance following alleged US and Israeli attacks on Iran. He asserted that Spain cannot "respond to one illegality with another," emphasizing solidarity with nations targeted by "indiscriminate" attacks.
Sánchez reiterated Spain's commitment to international law and peace, drawing parallels to its positions on Ukraine and Gaza. He urged against solving global problems through conflict, referencing the 2003 Iraq War as a past "mistake" that led to increased global insecurity. The Prime Minister called for an end to the current conflict, warning against a potentially long and destabilizing war.
