In response to pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has firmly stated that Spain will not support any military action against Iran. During a televised address, Sanchez articulated his government's position with a definitive 'no to war,' emphasizing that Spain would not participate in actions that could harm the world or conflict with their values and interests. He expressed that the threat of economic retaliation from the U.S. would not sway their moral stance.

Sanchez highlighted a shared sentiment among other governments and millions of citizens across Europe, North America, and the Middle East, who are also against escalating conflicts and seek a future free from uncertainty and war. Drawing parallels to the Iraq War, he warned of the negative indirect consequences such as the rise of extremist terrorism and soaring energy prices that followed military interventions.

Trump's remarks categorized Spain as a 'terrible ally' during a recent meeting, which Sanchez used to underline the importance of being guided by humanity and historical lessons. His refusal underscores Spain's commitment to peace and a desire for a more stable international order, distancing from potential military engagements that could destabilize the region further.
