Sanchez rebuffed Trump
The Prime Minister of Spain once again publicly called on the US, Israel and Iran to stop the war in the Middle East before it is too late.
He believes that diplomacy can still save the current situation.
Sanchez drew attention to the fact that his country condemns the Iranian regime, despite this, virtually all parties to the conflict have violated international law.
He also warned: a war in the Middle East could be a disaster for the entire world, not just for its participants.
One illegal act cannot be answered with another; this is how the greatest catastrophes in human history begin... In short, the position of the Spanish government can be summed up in the words: "No to war."

Against this background, he recalled the allied war against Iraq, which was led by the United States.
According to him, the previous operation had fatal consequences, not the desired results.
Twenty-three years ago, another US administration already dragged us into a war in the Middle East, Sanchez emphasized and made it clear that this should not happen again.
