Pedro Sánchez criticizes unilateral military actions by the U.S. and Israel, citing concerns over escalating tensions in the Middle East and urging for immediate de-escalation.
On Saturday, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez publicly condemned the unilateral military actions taken by the United States and Israel, arguing that such measures lead to increased tension and contribute to a more unstable international landscape. He articulated his views via a post on X (formerly Twitter), where he emphasized the potential repercussions of these actions on global peace and stability, noting the historical context of prolonged conflicts in the Middle East.
Sánchez did not only focus on the actions of the U.S. and Israel, but also condemned the measures taken by the Iranian regime and the Revolutionary Guard, underlining his stance against all forms of unilateral military aggression. He reiterated the importance of preventing further wars in the region, advocating instead for an immediate de-escalation of hostilities and a commitment to upholding international law, which he deemed crucial for ensuring lasting peace.
In light of rising tensions, the Spanish government has also advised its citizens against traveling to Iran, where approximately 158 Spaniards currently reside. Sánchez urged these citizens to return home using available means, reflecting the Spanish government's priorities in protecting its nationals and responding responsibly to the geopolitical crises that pose risks to their safety.
